Join us for a panel of 5 successful and sought after VCs, advisors & mentors who have worked with hundreds of Silicon Valley firms, including Affymax, Apple, Codexis, Digital Fuel, Synopsys, Wild Pockets, and Yahoo. Then dive into one of five small group sessions led by the speakers on topics including new essential tools, how to select initial team members, and how to use resources efficiently. Finally, get to know the speakers and fellow attendees during the networking reception while enjoying light snacks and beverages. The event’s interactive format will give entrepreneurs from the Stanford community insight into what kills most companies and what skills you need to survive... and prosper!
