From first-time founders to industry leaders—Stanford Entrepreneurs connects you to the people, insights, and opportunities that fuel success. What We Do: We bring Stanford entrepreneurs together to share ideas, make connections, and accelerate progress. Through events, curated groups, and hands-on opportunities, we help builders learn and grow stronger—at every stage of the journey. Why It Matters: The right community makes all the difference. This is where Stanford founders, builders, and investors find each other, exchange insights, and grow faster—together. It’s a place to plug in, give back, and be part of something bigger. *Must be a Stanford alumn.

Tightknit is the operating system for running high-impact Slack communities.

Feedback we are looking for:
We've had success both with larger enterprises (Salesforce, Amplitude), fast-growing mid-market (Gamma, Clay, beehiiv), and a load of smaller customers
Should Tighknit target the enterprise, mid-market, or SMB? We are deciding between:
A PLG motion targeting many small customers
Targeting larger high-value enterprise accounts
