What Makes Stanford Special
Stanford University has a long history of entrepreneurial success due to several key factors: 1) Its history began with an entrepreneur founding the university, and it has encouraged industry collaboration ever since through organizations like the Stanford Research Institute and Stanford Research Park. 2) Its top-ranked academic programs across seven schools provide world-class multidisciplinary learning. 3) Its policies actively support industry collaboration, investing in startups, and providing resources to help students launch companies while enrolled or after graduating. 4) Its location in Silicon Valley provides access to venture capital and a culture of entrepreneurship.
