Sounds like the beginning of a joke where everyone walks into a bar, right? But instead of walking in (maybe to a happy hour), these folks all walked out– of college, that is. The triumvirate of Coursekit, the potential Blackboard-killer, has opted to skip out on the rest of dear old Penn because they raised a cool million for their start-up.

Being the next big thing in the tech world is cool and all, but we’re not sure we’d give up college so quickly– two out of the three team members are only rising juniors! To follow your dreams or bask in the glory that is adolescence: that is the (million-dollar) question.
