Digitize all textbooks. Digitize all lectures the same day they get delivered. Put it all online. All those who apply and do not get in can still access. They might not get the degree, but they get the knowledge if they want.

I can be your AI-augmented Chief Of Staff, but as an outside consultant. Better fit: Fractional CMO, but as an outside Consultant. You go to your 1B valuation much faster with me on board.
