Join our casual community of 1,150+ graduate founders pushing and supporting each other.
Stanford Founders began as a casual WhatsApp group of ten friends sharing entrepreneurial events, resources, and opportunities across different graduate schools at Stanford.
We noticed the difficulty Stanford graduate students faced in finding cofounders and accessing entrepreneurial resources from other schools, so we tried to bridge that gap.
The chat grew from 10 to over 1,200 members before becoming an official student organization that offers programs and events for Stanford graduate students.
Support each other.
Stanford has plenty of entrepreneurship infrastructure, including StartX, GSB E-Club, BASES, ASES, STVP, and more. Stanford Founders tries to help early, when graduate students are transitioning from research to startup and seeking a new community. Explore Stanford's entrepreneurship resources.
We value diversity, collaboration, and integrity in all our endeavors, fostering a supportive and dynamic ecosystem that propels entrepreneurial success.
Our community of over 1,200 graduate student founders thrive by collaborating. Stanford Founders connects them with resources, investors, and like-minded co-founders across every school.
