Larry Chiang welds a Jedi in Business Administration, (JBA) like a Four Seasons chef with a Gua Gua Guacamole recipe. He gets ROI’s for Stanford before you travel here from Singapore, Oak Brook, Naperville, or Pepper Pike. After a Harvard event, HBS wrote: \u201cWhat They Don\u2019t Teach You at Stanford Business School”<\/a> much to the chagrin of the GSB. Chiang taught Engineering 145, Technology Entrepreneurship, as an EIR. Now, he mentors us how to get knowledge and the network of Y combinator and Stanford University without either approving you to join Stanford University or YC.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Larry<\/a>UPDATE: CS 183 classes are business classes inside computer science school (there are five hashtags that each correlate to the fork of PeterThiel’s class, CS 183; #cs183,\u00a0 #CS183b, #CS183s, #CS183X & #CS183Do. By “fork”, I mean in the gitHub, C.S. sense of the word, ‘fork’<\/a>. CS 183 is, of course, “Startup.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stanford University, School of Engineering
\nStanford CA 94305<\/p>\n

By Larry Chiang<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Starting a company. Starting a startup is networking in an industry that you are crashing.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

UPDATE [07-15-15 4:19pm] I lifted my anonymity because I wanted to exemplify that anyone can have a two way conversation with YC or\/and Stanford University. Any pre-entrepreneur can network with the best of the best. Before you network in Silicon Valley, master steps #1 to #5 Re: you do not need permission for YC or Stanford Business School to get the knowledge or the network<\/p>\n

Step #1) Master the Y Combinator essays (and the book Founders At Work<\/a>)<\/p>\n

1b) remember the Bit.Ly links. Remember, there is some sexually frustrated, socially awkward person in a basement in Vancouver mulling and grinding this knowledge by osmosis, into their brain. Osmosis bc its a smart brain void of all the counterintuitve entrepreneur truths<\/p>\n

2) Engineering 145 classes. Tom Kosnik, Tom Byers, me, Chuck Eesley. Tons of content. The PDF’s have our cellphones on them. Master these classes.<\/p>\n

3) CS 183 classes (there are five; CS 183<\/a>, CS183b, CS183s, CS183X & CS183Do<\/a><\/p>\n

4) read Paul Graham’s book https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Hackers-Painters-Big-Ideas-Computer\/dp\/1449389554<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5) read mark McCormack<\/a> (if you have 1 cent $0.01 because its used on Amazon Amazon<\/a>
\nThe total, net, net cost is appx $15.oo because Peter and Jessica have PDFs. Mr McCormack’s book is on the secondary market<\/p>\n
