We couldn’t let our month on online education end without a sit down with Sebastian Thrun. While he hasn’t had the billion dollar exits, Thrun is one of the only entrepreneurs today who could hold a candle to Elon Musk in the ballsy, futurist Renaissance man department. He helped invent Google’s self driving car and Google glass, but left all that behind to focus on remaking the world of eduction, with his startup Udacity.
My Two Cents
Heady comparison for Sarah Lacy to compare Sebstian Thrun to the almost incomparable Elon Musk, but when you have the self-driving car and Google Glass and now Udacity, it might be warranted. Sebastian Thrun may be the next great German!! Future Nobel Laureate or Turing Award or BOTH!
