"I've mentored several terrific StartX companies over the past year. StartX has some amazing and truly dedicated staff members. Many, many times the StartX team is working side by side with their startups at 9pm or later. It's a great program which I definitely recommend."
"StartX is from Stanford entrepreneurs and for Stanford entrepreneurs. I’ve been impressed with the quality of founders going through the program, the progress they make and the support they receive from staff and other volunteers. With its educational mission, the StartX experience is nothing a Stanford class or a commercial incubator could match."
"StartX is a great place for all levels of entrepreneurs. I've been involved with six startups at all levels including multiple times as a CEO and as a founder and can say that having the community and mentorship that StartX provides is beneficial for anyone, regardless of how much experience a founder has."
