About Entrepreneurship Week
In 2007, the Stanford Entrepreneurship Network (sen.stanford.edu), a federation of organizations across campus, held its first Entrepreneurship Week. It was an enormous success, with standing room only at every event. Stanford University was also the site of the national launch of Entrepreneurship Week USA.
Entrepreneurship is of enormous interest on campus, because the Stanford community recognizes that the 21st Century will belong to innovators who can turn ideas into action. This applies more than ever to today's students, who need to be self-starters and possess an entrepreneurial mindset, regardless of what they go on to do in life.
For Entrepreneurship Week 2008, SEN has again planned a series of exciting events to engage students in various dimensions of entrepreneurship. Events include presentations by prestigious speakers; roundtable discussions; mixers; VC/student "speed dating" allowing students to pitch their ideas; and a start-up job fair. Stanford will also host the innovation tournament an "Apprentice-style" competition that will be open to student teams around the world. The acclaimed documentary film, Imagine It!, will also be making its world premiere; it captures the dreams and excitement of last year's Innovation Tournament and features numerous Stanford students.
