About us

Stanford Alumni Startups New York (SASNY) is dedicated to the advancement of entrepreneurship, the sharing of ideas across industries, and the building of community. We are a volunteer run non-profit organization connecting Stanford alumni entrepreneurs, investors, and the startup community in New York.

Stanford Angels & Entrepreneurs (SA&E) is a community of 2000+ alumni, faculty and students in the SF bay area advancing entrepreneurship and innovation. SA&E strengthens Stanford's startup community by fostering a pay-it-forward spirit and building relationships among entrepreneurs, faculty and alumni investors. We leverage the power of entrepreneurship, technology, and business model innovation to serve the Stanford community and society. Our community approach creates diverse opportunities for professional development, mentoring, and angel investing.

Stanford Angels & Entrepreneurs United connects the startup ecosystem across the country's innovation centers beyond California with regular remote programming and opportunities. Entrepreneurs often face a lonely journey, which for some, intensified during the pandemic. Launched remote-first in Spring 2020, we strive to support them along the way by bringing together other founders, talent, business partners and supporters. With virtual programming, we serve the Stanford community at large regardless of location and have grown to over 950 alumni members. We foster relationships through education, mentorship and investment opportunities.

Stanford Alumni in Sustainability (SAS) is building a cross-cutting, intergenerational community of alumni interested in environmental, climate and sustainable development. Our 635+ member group holds social and educational gatherings for members on topics of interest and is a network to connect alumni and current students with advice, mentorship and professional opportunities. 

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.
