Stanford, the university that has, if you believe the hyperbole, single handedly kept the American economy thriving through the work of its undergraduates, many of them dropouts who made millions rather than finish their education, has started to formalise, and fund, the process. It seems that Stanford Student Enterprises, “the newest and largest entrepreneurial funding source for students on the Stanford campus,” hopes to further stoke the phenomenon.
In their rush to learn lessons from places like Stanford, universities in the UK have set out to formalise what has been a random process over the pond. Nice to see Stanford clambering aboard a train that looks like being crowded with passengers from universities in the UK.
