Background

Biographical / historical:

The Stanford Technology Ventures Program (STVP) is the entrepreneurship center at Stanford University's School of Engineering. Hosted by the department of Management Science and Engineering, STVP is dedicated to accelerating high-technology entrepreneurship education and creating scholarly research on technology-based firms that, in turn, provides new insights for students, scholars, and business leaders.

STVP provides undergraduate and graduate students from all majors with the entrepreneurial skills needed to use innovations to solve major world problems, with an emphasis on the environment, human health, information technology, and other global issues. Research efforts tackle the challenges of creating successful ventures and innovative large firms, and then taking that knowledge to the classroom and publication. Their global outreach program includes annual conferences on several continents and a website that includes thousands of video clips and podcasts regarding technology entrepreneurship and innovation. They strive to create new ideas, and inspire and prepare students to be leaders in existing organizations, new ventures, and academia.

The Draper Fisher Jurvetson (DFJ) Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders (ETL) Seminar is a weekly lecture series on entrepreneurship featuring entrepreneurs, innovators and industry leaders.
