Stanford ETL (Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders) — Eric Ries at STVP's flagship speaker series

Eric returns to the Stanford Technology Ventures Program's Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders series — the weekly Wednesday lecture at Huang Engineering Center that has featured the founder generation from Reid Hoffman to Marissa Mayer to Guy Kawasaki. Talk covers Incorruptible's argument about why great companies drift from their mission and what founders can architect at the earliest stage to keep the drift from happening.

“A candid exploration of the entrepreneurial journey where informed leaders share personal stories of the secrets and setbacks behind real success.” — Stanford Technology Ventures Program — Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders

“Incredible talk by Eric Ries at Stanford University. Eric, author of The Lean Startup (2011), is one of the people who changed how business schools teach entrepreneurship and startups.”
Ash Wallington Entrepreneurship & Innovation · Higher Ed & Institutional Leadership

“Eric’s earlier book, The Lean Startup, helped define a generation’s approach to entrepreneurship and innovation. Incorruptible asks what comes next: once you discover genuine value, how do you build a company capable of protecting it?”
