Biographical/Historical note
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.
