Stanford engineering s-e-e-m-s innovative because it teaches sales inside ENGR145. Engineers who sell seem new and novel. CS majors who code and promote seem like a new animal that #ENGR145 or/and CS 183 and/or Sam Altman’s CS 183b produced.
Whoa.
I’m from a family of founders. My dad and his brothers. All co-founded or solo founded something. All studied engineering. So combining engineering and sales isn’t new. It’s fifth generation old. It’s like the “Fifth Epiphany” (more on that later)
What I’m saying is that sales skills plus CS skills inside of you plus four CS major co-founders that all code and all sell is not innovative. It’s what they did in china forever ago. So, with that in mind, let’s focus on hacking SVB’s slew of SXSW events:

Did anyone blog the Silicon Valley Bank slew of #SxSW events?

Oh wait, wordpress is passé
But so was Obi Wan’s light sabre #R2D2vc

 

When I say “Silicon Valley Bank”, I mean their Austin Texas branch in addition to their Menlo Park location. There are parties set up in downtown Austin that coincide with south by southwest (SXSW)

At a svb sponsored event there was live batting cage hitting. I chose instead to just stretch at “Hearts After Dark” benefitting SF General Hospital.
