Where the reports disagree
1Program start date
with the core in-person program commencing Oct. 12 at Draper University’s San Mateo campus.
The program is scheduled to begin Oct. 5.
What would settle it: Draper University's official program calendar or admissions statement confirming the start date.
What to make of it
Treat the $70,000/3.5% equity terms, the Sept. 1 application deadline, and the Cardano/Orion Fund partnership as established; the exact program start date (Oct. 5 vs Oct. 12) is unresolved and should be confirmed directly with Draper University before relying on it.
