Cool Blog on Campus Entrepreneurship – Stanford

While just surfing through some tags on wordpress I found Dave Fowler’s ThingsILearned.com. Seems he is helping launch a startup in Silicon Valley before heading off to work for IBM in the fall. Check out this entry that comments on using Stanford’s talented people and resource rich eco-system. From the entry

I’ve also been to Stanford twice where we recruited our friend Zain for the team. Zain is a super bright guy who’s in the middle of his PhD at Stanford under Mark Horowitz, a founder of Rambus. Zain’s hooking us up with a server on the insanely fast stanford network, the original ISP for google! Stanford is an awesome awesome place. They get tons of money from wealthy alumni and venture capital. Their president is an EE professor supposedly worth over a billion dollars. There are startup clubs, classes, and recruitment posters all over. Its an incredibly exciting place. I’m glad I decided to take my summer course there instead of online.
