Let's be honest - we never really learn at lectures. It was all about office hours. In this spirit, we're hosting a new monthly series: Stanford Startups Office Hours.
We will have "TAs" available to answer questions - we’re here to talk about new ideas, frame priorities and opportunities, think through tough strategic questions, test new products and provide objective feedback for the issues keeping you up at night.
Come with real challenges you're facing and connect with other alumni.
This month’s TAs will be:
