How to start a startup

The University of Edinburgh group for Sam Altman's "How to Start a Startup" lecture series.

Stanford have recently announced a new class 'How to Start a Startup’ (startupclass.samaltman.com) that will be running from the 23/9/14 onwards. The course is meant to cover all the basics of starting a startup, and each lecture will be given by a well-known figure from the startup world including Marissa Mayer, CEO of Yahoo, Ben Silbermann, founder of Pinterest and many more.

We will be organizing sessions every Wednesday evening to watch the lecture videos. We’ll brainstorm ideas, bounce them off each other, and refine them over the course of the semester. Open to anyone and everyone!
