Stanford Ignite – Post-9/11 Veterans

Stanford Ignite – Post-9/11 Veterans is tailored to recent U.S. veterans who want to bolster their know-how about innovation and entrepreneurship.

Key Benefits

This program is exclusively for post-9/11 veterans and uses the same curriculum as our full- and part-time Stanford Ignite offerings.
  • Participants visit local Bay Area companies, hear from influential guest speakers, and attend professional development sessions.
  • Participants work in teams of five or six to develop a new product or service for an existing organization or a new venture.
  • Business concepts learned in the classroom span core business and functional skills that are reinforced through practical application in these team venture projects.
  • Participants learn how to successfully present their ideas during a daylong communications bootcamp and later apply these lessons by giving a brief elevator pitch.
  • Team presentations to a panel of venture capitalists, angel investors, industry experts, and experienced entrepreneurs, who provide feedback, such as the viability of the venture idea business plan, for educational purposes.
  • Stanford GSB alumni and industry experts are actively engaged as mentors and panelists evaluating student presentations.

Who Should Attend

  • U.S. Post-9/11 veterans
  • Active duty, transitioning, retired military personnel (enlisted or officer)
  • Service members with a high school diploma (those with formal graduate business training to be reviewed on a case-by-case basis)
