WHY STANFORD REBUILD

Engage Innovators

We want to encourage and support the world’s innovators and problem solvers to tackle the challenges and opportunities we will face in the coming months. We believe they have the potential to significantly accelerate recovery and contribute to a better and more equitable outcome.

Encourage Action

Innovation and entrepreneurship are engines of economic health and growth, and are particularly important in times of disruption. Disruption triggers different needs to emerge, presenting opportunities to create new products, services, and approaches for a better “new normal” for individuals, small businesses, large organizations and governments.

Offer Our Expertise

We hope that the expertise of our entrepreneurial faculty and the step-by-step guidance from the Embark toolkit will provide support and encourage teams to accelerate our path to a better post-COVID-19 world.

Founders + Faculty

Work together to bring Stanford insights honed from thousands of  startups.

Tangible Tools

Use actionable frameworks, interactive tools, and inspirational and educational videos.

Your Startup Canvas

Along with other entrepreneurs, engage with personalized tips and proven tools to validate your startup idea.

TIMELINE

Stanford Rebuild is designed to fit with any pace. Participants can spend as much or as little time as they want on the program. Our goal is to inspire collective thought and generate solutions. Some projects may turn into long-term ventures, others may have short-term impact, and others may simply be ideas. All of these are welcome and we encourage all participants to join even if they only have limited time to contribute.
