I listen with my entire being like an all black shih tzu<\/p>\n
Greg Fenves said to me March 8, 2010 at UT, “What gets done first at UT, later gets copied at Stanford.”<\/p>\n
He is dean of engineering at Cockrell School of Engineering at University of Texas. Me, I think that Professor Fenves repurposed that quote from his Cal days. Anyway, outside of his recycled quote, he is right.<\/p>\n
Here is what I am doing at University of Texas Entrepreneurship Week FIRST before I do it at Stanford University. Yeah, I co-founded UT Entrepreneurship Week with two undergrads last year, 2012.<\/p>\n
Remember, I am an alpha entrepreneur that is tremendously risk averse (my risk intolerance even has a hashtag meme: #RMRMRE). So, I test it all at UT *before* I install it at Stanford (or MIT– yeah, I am EIR there too).<\/p>\n

Here is what I am doing at UT Entrepreneurship Week 2013:<\/p>\n
-1- More Doing, Less Talking<\/p>\n
No talks. Everything we need as pre entrepreneurs has either been blogged about (which we can read, then DO) or video blogged (which we can watch, then DO).<\/p>\n
Read. Do. Re-read, do Do Blog what we did. Re-read.<\/p>\n
-2- More Hosting, Less Talking<\/p>\n
UT undergrads are hosting their second Startup Crawl AfterParty. March 7@ 10:05AM<\/p>\n
-3- More Executing ENGR 145, Less Talking ENGR 145.<\/p>\n
UT undergrads are selling housing to silicon valley VCs who can’t get themselves housing for sxsw. ENGR145’s Anchor Concept: Lemonade and Gua Gua Guacamole<\/p>\n
It moves you to the right on the entrepreneur bell curve<\/p>\n
