SPRIE is very pleased to be an active member of the Stanford Entrepreneurship Network (SEN), a federation of more than fifteen organizations across campus at Stanford University that conduct research, teach and/or provide outreach services related to entrepreneurship. SEN (sen.stanford.edu) has grown organically during the last seven years. Now, thanks to the generous sponsorship of global accounting and consulting firm Deloitte (www.deloitte.com), SEN will be initiating several new programs to broaden entrepreneurial activities at Stanford and around the world. Serving as a "first stop," SEN provides a single point of contact for people wishing to plug into entrepreneurship resources and support at Stanford.

Please join us during the Launch event on October 10. Our featured speaker will be Martin Eberhard, Co-Founder and President of Technology, Tesla Motors. A game-changing, Silicon Valley start-up, Tesla is currently rolling out the new, earth-friendly Tesla Roadster, which promises to revolutionize our perception of the electric car. It can go from zero to 60 miles per hour (mph) in about four seconds with a top speed of over 130 mph; can travel more than 200 miles on a charge; and can pull electricity from a number of power sources--even a standard wall outlet.

During the event, we will also give a brief introduction of SEN, its new programs and its member organizations. A showcase and networking reception will follow the presentation. Enjoy complimentary hors d'oeuvres and beverages and visit SEN member organization information booths to learn about their offerings. Executives from Deloitte will also be on hand with information about career opportunities and new venture services.
