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.
