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.
