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.
