Stanford University has an incredible resource that you’ll undoubtedly find quite useful: an entrepreneurship ecorner that delivers videos and podcasts from top names in technology.
From their About page:
The Stanford Technology Ventures Program (STVP) Entrepreneurship Corner is a free online archive of entrepreneurship resources for teaching and learning. The mission of the project is to support and encourage faculty around the world who teach entrepreneurship to future scientists and engineers, as well as those in management and other disciplines. The site has been developed by a dynamic team of educators, entrepreneurs, engineers, and designers at the Stanford Technology Ventures Program (STVP). The project has been financially supported by Stanford University and a number of generous sponsors. Other collaborators in its creation include the Stanford Center for Professional Development and Stanford Video.
One thing that was fascinating was from this post about why they’re translating their video’s audio and providing subtitles in so many languages, “Recent analysis reveals that over 40% of our viewers are visiting from outside the United States.” Also from this post is the factoid that they’ve created and are shipping an iPhone application to access their content.

Hi minnov8: Stanford eCorner is a great resource. I’ve used it at my company (large Fortune 100 company) for over two years. There is another great Stanford seminar series available through their engineering department. Any of the courses (masters level) which Stanford shows as only one credit classes may be taken w/o charge. Two courses that are taught at least twice per year which I love are: Entrepreneurial Thought Leaders Seminar and Topics in International Advanced Technology Research. You’ll also find about 6 other free seminars per term. Each seminar has a different expert every week … often guest from leading edge Silicon Valley companies. Here are two urls (one of my old posts on this topic and a Stanford url).
