The Stanford Venture Studio is a collaborative learning community for students across all disciplines and at any stage of entrepreneurship.
With students from business, engineering, medicine, computer science, humanities, education, law, media, arts and more, we are truly a hub for connecting like-minded students from across campus. The Stanford Venture Studio offers two primary ways to engage.
Stanford Venture Studio Community
The Stanford Venture Studio organizes social events, skills-based workshops, small group discussions, and opportunities for students to work on short-term projects in the Venture Studio. All of these allow students to expand their learning beyond the classroom and experiment with entrepreneurship. As part of our effort to foster interdisciplinary collaboration, we work closely with student clubs, organizations and programs across Stanford.
