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:
Nick Chen is a product designer and the co-founder and CEO of Pico, the business platform for creators. Named to the Forbes 30 Under 30, he started the company in 2016 to enable the economic empowerment of the educators, entertainers, and storytellers who represent a new generation of entrepreneurs. Outside of working on Pico, Nick sings in the NYC a cappella group The Workshop.
