We're both 19-year-old BTech students (currently about to enter Semester 3) and have been building our startup alongside college.

Recently, we got accepted into the next cohort of Founder Startup House by 2047 Ventures in Bangalore. It's a 3-month residential program where we'd get to live with other founders, work on our startup full-time, and be surrounded by mentors and investors. And the best part is that it's entirely free!! For us, it's a huge opportunity.

The problem is that the program overlaps almost entirely with our Semester 3.

We're now stuck between two choices:

• Stay in college, attend classes, and continue building the startup on the side.
• Go all-in on the startup house, potentially missing a semester or finding some way to manage the academic consequences. However, we're never really planning to drop out of college.

We genuinely believe in what we're building, but we also don't want to make a reckless decision that we'll regret later.

Has anyone here been in a similar situation? If you chose your startup over college (or vice versa), how did it work out? Is taking a semester hit for an opportunity like this worth it?

We'd really appreciate advice from founders, students, or anyone who's had to make a similar trade-off.
