You are listening to the Draper Fisher-Jervinson Entrepreneurial Thought Leader Seminar,

0:07.0

brought to you weekly by a Stanford Technology Ventures program at Stanford University School of Engineering.

0:14.0

Let me talk a little bit about Tina, but if you notice the bio is right there, but I'll do this for our friends online and so on.

0:26.6

So I have the pleasure working with her because she's the executive director of the Stanford Technology Ventures Program,

0:33.6

which maybe she'll talk a little bit about because once I get started, I wouldn't be able to stop.

0:39.4

But it wouldn't exist without Tina.

0:48.1

As part of that, she leaves all of our operations and it contributes to a great deal of the intellectual content of our activities,

0:50.4

including I get to work with her on the Mayfield Fellows Program.

0:55.0

I see a few ex-Mayfield fellows in here, and I hope that I see some future Mayfield fellows in here. For those of you, you've heard about that work study program for

1:21.3

One of the things I like about Tina is that it's hard to put a label on her.

1:26.4

Look at that subject.

1:33.3

Entrepreneur, Management Consultant, author, a scientist, and it's really true. It's no BS. In fact, she has more than the BS. She has a Paha. She has a PhD. I worked in that all day.

1:39.3

She has a PhD from the medical school here and none other than neuroscience. And so I have no idea

1:46.3

what that is and maybe she'll tell us a little bit because I went to Berkeley. We never told

1:50.3

us what neuroscience was. So without further ado, let me call up my partner, my peer and a wonderful

1:57.1

friend, Tina Sealy.

2:00.2

Thank you.

2:02.1

Good luck.
