Having worked at a University for a number of years, I would think that Universities could easily build and administer online degree programs themselves and many already do.

The real value 2tor (agree with posters above that it is a terrible name) could provide in on the marketing front. Maybe take a chapter out of University of Phoenix (part of the $10.35 billion Apollo Group $APOL with annual revenues of $3.14 billion).

Its about time that we start paying attention to education at home. Take a look at http://www.topchalks.com and you will realize what the developing economies are doing to leapfrog ahead.

The name has nothing to do with Web 2.0 even though we are all about social engineering and crowdsourcing.
The name is based on founder’s dog and tutoring… We are “A Great University’s best friend!”

Great idea. Shitty name.

These “Web 2.0″ nonsense names are getting too old really.

A start-Up to fund Universities appears to be a completely new Idea. I hope this noble cause brings good-profit for this Start-Up in near future.

Also, it may extent its help to universities by hiring student and giving Job placements for students in their very own Start-Up during this Recession time.
