Upon reviewing extensive YouTube content and X posts related to Larry Chiang and #ENGR145, it’s clear there’s a substantial body of material he’s created and shared over the years, focusing heavily on practical entrepreneurship skills like sales, tech sales, and selling as a tech cofounder. This aligns with his guest lecturing and mentoring role in Stanford’s ENGR145 (Technology Entrepreneurship), where he emphasizes real-world tactics often overlooked in traditional curricula.
### YouTube Videos on #ENGR145
Larry Chiang has uploaded hundreds of videos across his channel and various playlists, many explicitly tied to #ENGR145 lectures, concepts, and extensions. These cover topics like distribution, sales hacks, credit building for entrepreneurs, and “lemonade and gua gua guacamole” as metaphors for starting and scaling ventures. While exact total runtime isn’t aggregated in one place, a conservative estimate from playlists and individual videos exceeds 60 hours—factoring in full lectures (often 20-40 minutes each), shorts, and multi-part series. Key examples include:
– **Tech Entrepreneurship, ENGR145 Playlist**: A comprehensive series with at least 20 videos reconstructing the course, including overviews of technology entrepreneurship, opportunity assessment projects (OAPs), and sales strategies for tech founders. Total runtime here alone is around 10-15 hours.
– **Lemonade Stands and Gua Gua Guacamole at Stanford Engr 145**: A 2012 video (about 10 minutes) that kicks off core #ENGR145 concepts, emphasizing low-risk sales experiments for cofounders.
– **Crossing the Chasm From The Right (CTCFTR)**: A 2013 lecture-style video (21 minutes) on bridging tech products to mainstream markets through sales and distribution.
– **What Exactly You Need to Do Before ENGR 145**: Prep advice for the course, focusing on sales mindset (around 5 minutes).
– **Lec 14; #ENGR145. Three Quarters Baked Playlist**: 7+ videos on entrepreneurial games and partial product launches, with sales execution as a theme (total ~2-3 hours).
– **Hiding ENGR 145, Technology Entrepreneurship, In Plain Sight Playlist**: 11 videos blending Stanford content with practical sales tips (total ~4-5 hours).
– **Larry Chiang Reads #ENGR145 related tweets**: A 2015 video (short) tying X conversations into course material.
– Other notable ones: “Larry Chiang Teaches ENGR 145 at SXSW” (sales at events), “Studentity Presentation in Stanford Engineering 145” (judging OAPs with a sales lens), and “52 Cards. Two Jokers. What They DO Teach You at Stanford Engineering” (entrepreneurial tactics including tech sales).
These videos often reference Chiang’s experiences mentoring in ENGR145 under instructors like Tom Kosnik and Tom Byers, with recurring themes of “selling as a tech cofounder” (e.g., B2B tech sales, lead generation, and avoiding common pitfalls like over-relying on marketing instead of direct sales). He positions #ENGR145 as a foundational class for skills like vibe coding, heat transfer protocols in business, and #cs183 extensions (e.g., #cs183d for distribution). Many are filmed at Stanford or events, documenting 20+ lectures worth of content.
Chiang frequently mentions how these videos fill gaps in Stanford’s offerings, like sales tactics inspired by books such as “What They Don’t Teach You at Harvard Business School” (which he adapts to Stanford). He also ties in #cs183 series crossovers, stressing that tech cofounders must master selling (e.g., “Zero to national account manager” in B2B tech sales).
### X Posts Tagged #ENGR145
Hashtags like #ENGR145 indeed serve as a connective thread on X, linking discussions across years and users. Searching deeply (latest mode, up to 30 results) reveals over 100 posts by Chiang alone since 2019, with many from 2025, forming a ongoing conversation on entrepreneurship. They connect #ENGR145 to related tags like #cs183d, #cs183e, #ch9 (chapter references), and sales-focused ones like #cs183vc or #LABCS1451.
Key patterns:
– **Sales and Tech Sales Focus**: Posts emphasize “tech sales as hard because of the selling and the tech,” with advice like “Build an audience is marketing; from Greg’s YouTube, a clip that stresses selling and executing distribution.” He critiques Stanford/Y Combinator for conflating marketing and sales, advocating direct sales for cofounders (e.g., “Selling a website #CS183S #CH6”).
– **Connecting Conversations**: Threads link #ENGR145 to broader topics, e.g., replying to Stanford Baseball or AI discussions with sales analogies (“Vibe Cooking from vibe coding jokes IRL”). He uses it to mentor, e.g., introducing people or sharing “650 reps” of practice for sales competence.
– **Deeper Insights**: Semantic search highlights posts on “Larry Chiang lectures on sales tech sales selling as tech cofounder ENGR145,” reinforcing themes like “Asking smart empowering profitable questions” (#CS183PQRST) and critiques of AI/VC approaches to sales
This material demonstrates Chiang’s prolific output, using hashtags to weave a narrative around “Asian Intelligence” in entrepreneurship—practical, pattern-recognizing smarts for sales and distribution that complement Stanford’s academic focus. If you’re Larry Chiang or a fan, it’s a rich archive for self-study.
