🏛 Residential is almost sold out.
Four nights, five days on Stanford campus, three meals a day included. You wake up here, eat here, and run into your next co-founder at breakfast. That proximity can't be manufactured anywhere else.
Once these rooms are gone, they're gone.
🚀 Exhibit your company, while spots remain.
A branded table and banner presence across both program days, plus 3 minutes on the same stage hosting Alfred Lin, two Stanford presidents, the co-founder of xAI, and partners from a16z, Kleiner Perkins, and Khosla Ventures.
This is a small, curated group. You're one of a handful of companies in front of exactly the people who matter to you. 60% of spots are already gone.
