THE BATTLE OF THE BANDS, a competition among bands made up of students, venture capitalists, and small business entrepreneurs, drew together the GSB and the surrounding community for a night of awareness-raising, music, and fun in October. The event benefitted Start Up—an area nonprofit that promotes economic development in East Palo Alto. Students, alumni, and local venture capitalists gathered on the Business School’s front steps and declared Culture Shock, a Fijian band composed of Start Up entrepreneurs, winners of the battle.
