Problem: Not enough women in VC<\/div>\n

Solution: get more Stanford females in the funnel to become great Silicon Valley VCs <\/p>\n

GEM as in Global Entrepreneur Marketing which is broken out from 3 – 7 lectures inside Engineering 145, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Tech Entrepreneurship\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, depending on who teaches it. #ENGR145 is really good and really real. <\/div>\n

It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s me @LarryChiang. I spoke at swib forever ago<\/div>\n

In 2010, at that one day SWIB conference, Mary Lou spoke as a sales director for the Stanford Daily. Anna Kahn was the chair. She took notes and is now a VC. <\/div>\n
SOLUTION: doing a workshop for females on doing tech sales<\/i><\/b>. <\/div>\n
Tech sales is a great career springboard that:<\/u><\/div>\n
– leads to founder opportunities like @jesskah. JeSsIcA is a Stanford CS major who\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s done sales and now is at Sequoia, the venture capital firm <\/div>\n
– Tech sales makes PM an easy progression without or with a Stanford\/Harvard mba <\/div>\n
– tech sales is all a vc is. <\/div>\n
– VC is chock full of people good at tech sales<\/div>\n
– Tech sales is a great summer internship<\/i> the summer after your freshman<\/i><\/b> year because summers after soph and Junior year should be more technical. Freshman year you lack the chops so if you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re being strategic…, a sales internship after Frosh year is perfect <\/div>\n
– Tech sales helps you practice versus getting lectured at by a multi billionaire who does not break down how stuff really works. <\/div>\n
– selling is hyper unpopular to even address. Stanford engineering skipped the D, distribution class in its seminal \u00e2\u20ac\u0153cs 183\u00e2\u20ac\u009d series that Peter Thiel started. Distribution as in sales distribution. Lec 5 of #cs183b is the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcForward Deployed Engineer\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 aka a salesperson with an engineering degree you physically park at a prospects facility. Place an engineer at a future customers office increases the likelihood of getting them to be a customer of Palantir*<\/div>\n
Best wishes,<\/div>\n
Larry Chiang<\/div>\n
*Forward deployed engineer is the best euphemism ever<\/div>\n
P.S. SWIB will probably hat this idea but maybe this cold email will help you the reader be a Sequoia VC in 2030🤯 <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
