If you are already a hacker then "the right kinds of people" to start a company with may not be the ones you find in a Masters or Bachelor comp-sci course. Different people have different views on this, of course.
Yeah, actually, I have to agree with that comment. Based on my own experiences at least, students in an undergrad CS program are likely to be looking for a cushy job where they'll get spoon-fed everything (unless you're at an excellent university, which has its own problems); students in a terminal master's CS program are going to be much the same. For the networking opportunities, you might be much better off hanging around on #haskell IRC for a while, and maybe even going to some conferences, and eventually, if you're *looking* for restless people who would want to get involved in a company that does FP stuff, you may find they'll stick to you like glue. But someone has to take the initiative.
