An educational non-profit program that is associated with Stanford University with goals to accelerate the development of top entrepreneurs through education and collective intelligence.

This program was developed recently in 2011 by Cameron Teitelman and Dan Ha as a spin-off program of the Stanford Student Enterprises, which is the non-profit financial arm of the Associated Students of Stanford University.  In February 2012, Silicon Valley companies contributed $400,000 towards the advancement of StartX while in August 2012, StartX received a $800,000 grant from the Kauffman Foundation (a nationally recognized center for entrepreneurship and education) to again further advance the program’s success.  As of last month, Stanford University has announced its recipient status of a $3.6 million grant that will be dispersed over three years to contribute to other StartX funding sources like Stanford Hospital and Clinics.
