Silicon Valley investors embrace a new vision of College Education

Make School, a for-profit start-up in San Francisco's South of Market district, is one of the most unusual schools in the country: It lets students enroll in classes for free if they agree to pay later after they land a job.

The goal at Make School is not getting good grades. It's putting together a portfolio of practical work capable of impressing Silicon Valley companies like Google and Facebook — and prompting them to make lucrative job offers.
