I read startup ecosystems like Tom Brady reads NFL patterns.
I may not have a summa cum laude, graduate degree like he, but I do spend energy in Texas. Remember, I’m the guy that discovered Chamillionaire exactly 6 TechCrunch Summer parties ago. Chamillionaire, from Houston, is now an EIR at UpFront ventures with Mark Suster. Suster is an LA based VC. Anyway, here is coverage for you Silicon Valley execs that “don’t get on planes”…
/1/ #LonghornDemoDay
Longhorn Demo Day is twice per year. April and December. UT is on the semester system. The semester system is like quarters. But halves. With a bonus summer.
So summer quarter here at Stanford, would be like summer school at UT.
