I remember a lot of the Day 1’s in ENGR 145. It’s your first day in the Stanford entrepreneurship community.
Day 1: 2010, “First Round Capital” party in SF
Day 1, 2011 Voyager Capital BBQ in Woodside
Day 1 2012: Google’s Google I/O conference. An ENGR145 team launched on Day #1**
Day 1, 2016… This guy is on The Farm
June 22, 2016

President Obama is keynoting Global Entrepreneurship Summit. Itll double as Day #2 of ENGR145, but you’re gonna need to clear security and RSVP to get in. {Picture courtesy Democratic National Congressional Caucas March 2016 Austin Texas fundraiser with @Whurley}
This year, 2016… Day 1 of Stanford Engineering will be June 22, 2016. #GES2016 is also June 22. I’d reach out to StartX to co-produce something.
Problem. VIPs at #GES2016 have zero clue what Engineering 145 is and do not know its significance in reducing infant business mortality (Professor Tom Kosnik Lec 1; #ENGR145)

Time to click #GES2016 so you can pre study the agenda. Time to google the E145 syllabus so you can regurgitate things to say to #GES2016 attendees like the President
