That AevyTV channel used to do a lot of promotion for them.  
  
 All these whimsical degrees/new age courses have become fads.

So true. I liked their newsletter tho. A lot of people did. They can build something there I think rather than focusing on this alt MBA stuff

The problem was that they were trying to show that they are asking good as established bschools. If they had positioned themselves as an extracurricular course which people can use to boost their MBA applications then it might have had better success

Bringing marketing spend down doesn't mean they are dead. Maybe they are putting their heads down and trying to get past this bad market silently.

So they are posting on insta pretty regularly. The founders seem to be working on AI by the side. Funding crunch means they probably are bolstering their stuff and planning other things on the side. But upskilling is generally profitable so I Don't see it dying anytime soon

What happened to Stoa. They were doing decent work. Seems they have shut down.

The original mafia is a lot bigger. You cant beat traditional MBAs.

So recently stoa announced that they’re revamping their business. And for some reason everyone (other startup founders/ twitter folks) were supporting them and telling them not to get discouraged and to keep building and other shit. 

I’ve interacted with a few stoa students and they have nothing good to say about stoa. Apparently they were promised placements which no one got. 

Most of the people I know who did the stoa program, did it because they were sold the idea of getting a good consulting / founders office kinda job. The fees aren’t cheap for anyone coming from a middle class background. 

What pisses me off is why are we as a society encouraging such founders - like they sold something without being able to deliver which had a direct impact on the life of students. 

In my personal humble opinion these people need to be called out.

I heard from someone in the industry that Stoa laid off most of the people and only 7 of them are still there, including 4 of their co founders. The Main reason was that they were not able to provide placements to the members and their experience had turn to shit . What is happening with ed tech , also the sauce is that now they are pivoting into self paced courses following the coursera model. Alternative MBA nahi chal payega India .

Stoa laid off 90 percent of their workforce

MBA (any course for that matter) is a “means-to-an-end” to a good job. If no job no demand of that course . Maybe they weren’t able to screen good candidates. As good candidates go to top B schools. The avg guys didn’t get job as expected and then revolted .  
 Many edtechs tried this model of taking avg students and promising jobs but jobs are hard to come by even for good candidates. Hence their models fails.     
 If education in India has to be improved it has to start at the school education.

They are heavy on branding and showing it as the B-School if you want to work at Start-ups? 

I want to work at a VC firm in investments team.So if the cost is justified even if it's only for connections at major VC firms. Or should I look to get into the traditional 2 yr MBA program?
