The CES designs, promotes, and supports entrepreneurial programs for Stanford students and alumni. Some programs are open to the community as well. We do not offer programs or services specifically for the community at large. The Helpful Links section under Resources lists the community-based organizations.

 

Internships

The CES facilitates summer internships through the Entrepreneurial Summer Program.

The Center for Entrepreneurial Studies frequently gets requests to identify students for Experiential Projects. These projects may include writing a business plan, evaluating a market, helping to establish financial control systems, and more. Requests may come from any industry, including nonprofits.

Alumni Entrepreneurs

Alumni Entrepreneurs Online Community

The Alumni Entrepreneurs Online Community is a confidential forum to ask each other questions, store useful documents, and search past discussion threads. This forum has been made possible by the MBA 2005 Class Gift in Honor of James Hsu. James Hsu was part of the Class of 2005; tragically, he was a casualty of the December tsunami on the island of Phuket.

The forum is open to GSB Alumni and CES staff only. Please note, the site is not linked to the main GSB login verification system. You will need to register for a separate account. Access the forum here


GSB Alumni Discussion Boards

The GSB Alumni Office is offering Discussion Boards which replace the distribution mailings. The CES has three boards: Entrepreneur, VC and Funding. These are excellent ways to access current information for your entrepreneurial questions. You can post questions and search the easily accessible archives of previous responses. Registration is required and this is only open to GSB Alumni: http://alumni.gsb.stanford.edu/networks/discussions/index.html
