Update on Stanford Seed’s Response to COVID-19
In the midst of this severe health and economic crisis, Seed increased the support provided to our more than 800 partner SMEs across Africa and India to ensure they survive and thrive. We have offered a wide range of assistance including remote mentoring and coaching, webinars on business continuity topics, an expanded pool of pro bono consultants, and added new online programming focused on innovation and opportunities arising from the changing business landscape. Our 2020 Seed Transformation Program is continuing as a virtual program into 2021. The student internship program shifted from in-person to 100% remote, with 81 Stanford students interning at 50 companies around the world.
