Today, like everyday I spend here at Stanford, has been action-packed. Our task over this weekend is to begin forming a team we'd like to work with on a collectively-determined venture. After class, we immediately started to sift through the crowd of people, asking our peers' about their backgrounds, skills and potential ventures they would like to pursue.

I had invited a friend I met the previous day who seemed interested in entrepreneurship Alex. We quickly formed a team between Andres, Alex, myself and two other indian girls.

Among us 10, we scheduled a meeting that night at 8:30pm to get a better idea of what types of teams and ventures we're interested in committing to. We met in a dormitory study room and after we settled down around the table, I suggested that we took turns briefly illustrating their backgrounds, their skills and primary venture idea a team could potentially pursue. My friend Andres, with a background in electrical engineering, began first and expressed that he didn't have a particular venture idea - likewise, willing to help a team with marketing or business development. I was next up and decided that I would like to put Vunia on the table for consideration. I described that Vunia is a venture my friend and I have recently been working on that allowed web browser supported video communication. We had finished the prototype and most of the next steps would include finalizing the design, ready for users and marketing.

Thomas Chang | Experience: Stanford

Every person I meet is so enthusiastic about learning, creating things and venturing towards what they love doing. I'm taking a course called Entrepreneurship Technology with Dr. Thomas Kosnik - though today, he demanded we addressed him as "Tom" instead - and the professor-in-resident is Larry Chiang who is a quite known blogger as well as author of "What they don't teach in Stanford Business School." The structure of the class is all about practice, application of theories and execution. It's great because it's no longer about simply memorizing theories. They bring in real-world Silicon Valley entrepreneurs in to speak and after every class, we gather outside of class to share ideas and network.

Today, Larry Chiang literally gave the class the assignment to crash a VC party. He, himself, was not even invited. So my friend Andres and Alex decided to carpool there. The address led us to some enclosed neighborhood road lined with gates on both sides and multi-million dollar estates behind them.
