----------------------
Stanford are running a new class 'How to Start a Startup’, with amazing guest lecturers - the top dogs of Silicon Valley, such as Marissa Mayer, CEO of Yahoo or Ben Silbermann, founder of Pinterest. The course organiser is also hardly a nobody: Sam Altman, president of Y Combinator - the top startup incubator programme according to Forbes. The course is meant to cover all the basics of starting a startup, but frankly, with the people teaching it, there's golden advice here for everyone: whether you're already running your thing or haven't even thought about it.

Stanford has recruited students all over the world to screen these lectures and we're thrilled to bring you the Edinburgh version! We will be organising sessions every Wednesday to watch the videos together. Come along to bounce ideas, brainstorm, meet like minded people. Everyone is welcome!
