Is this true? If it is I think it should be an optional step. Can someone else confirm this since I didn't start the application process step.

Edit : I just went through the signup process with this account and I did not come across the personal video requirement. Where did you come across it?

Startup school mods : can you please delete my startup school application, I was testing out the signup flow. Sorry for the trouble.

That's when you had to apply to Startup School for limited spots. Now it's open to everyone for free, which means we don't require the intro video to just register/signup for the class.
