Hewlett-Packard), to see if he’d give him some of the necessary parts.</p> <p>(In light of the recent college admissions scandal, let us recognize the 12-year-old Jobs not only had the gumption to make that call, he also appears to have had no parental assistance looking up Hewlett’s number in the Palo Alto White Pages.)</p> <p>Hewlett agreed to the young go-getter’s request for parts.

It’s a complicated question. And you can do worse than get answers from <a href="http://www.greylock.com/team/#reid-hoffman">Reid Hoffman</a>. He’s currently a partner at the venture capital firm <a href="http://www.greylock.com/">Greylock Partners</a>. But you probably know him best as the co-founder of <a href="https://www.linkedin.com">LinkedIn</a>, the professional social network site recently acquired by Microsoft for $26 billion dollars. In his new podcast, <a href="http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/stitcher/masters-of-scale"><em>Masters of Scale</em></a>, Hoffman looks at how companies grow from zero users to a gazillion by interviewing fellow Silicon Valley entrepreneurs who have crossed that bridge. Guests include <a href="http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/masters-of-scale/e/50258424?autoplay=true">Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg & Sheryl Sandberg,</a> Netflix’s Reed Hastings, and Google’s Eric Schmidt, among others.</p> <p>Even if you work in a business with more modest aspirations, there’s some wisdom you can take away from these wide-ranging conversations. Hoffman’s conversation with Airbnb’s CEO Brian Chesky (above) about hand-crafting customer experiences would help you run almost any business. You can find the <em>Masters of Scale</em> podcast on <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=1227971746&mt=2&ls=1">iTunes</a>, <a href="http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/stitcher/masters-of-scale">Stitcher</a>, <a href="https://www.entrepreneur.com/topic/masters-of-scale">Entrepreneur.com</a>, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/1bJRgaFZHuzifad4IAApFR">Spotify</a>, and <a href="https://play.google.com/music/listen?u=0#/ps/Ify6fvmlw7taa25qkxdricygohe">Google Play</a>.

Not only do they bring the promise of rapid growth and real change, but everything is up for grabs. Organizations that start with a clean sheet of paper have the difficult task of paying the bills, but they also have the luxury of ignoring yesterday in order to focus exclusively on tomorrow.</p> <p>Through the years, I’ve started a bunch of companies and enjoyed brainstorming with the people who have launched companies big and small, from AOL when they only had a dozen employees to some of the very cool organizations that come through the doors of NY Techstars.</p> <p>Next month, I’m going to be running a small school–a few days for a few dozen startup founders… For those that won’t be able to make it, I’ll be recording the session and editing it down into something I can share here on the blog for free a few months later.</p></blockquote> <p>Below, you can stream those 15 free recordings, each of which runs 18–25 minutes. We’ve embedded the first segment, “Freelancer or Entrepreneur?.” Further down you’ll find links to the remaining ones, or you can get them on <a href="https://soundcloud.com/startup-school">SoundCloud</a> and <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/seth-godins-startup-school/id566985370?mt=2">iTunes</a>. Godin’s “Startup School” will be added to our collection of <a href="http://www.openculture.com/business_free_courses">Free Online Business Courses</a>, where you’ll also find the useful YCombinator

Commons</a></em></small></p> <p>For years <a href="http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/05/18/tomorrows-advance-man">Marc Andreessen</a>–the entrepreneur best known for launching Mosaic and later Netscape–ran a popular blog called “<a href="http://a16z.com/2015/01/09/pmarca-blog-ebook/">Pmarca</a>” (apparently short for “Private Marc Andreessen”) where he dispensed wisdom on startups, business, investing and beyond. If you’ve worked in startups, especially in Silicon Valley, you probably followed “Pmarca” fairly religiously.</p> <p>Like so many others, Andreessen eventually took down his blog and <a href="https://twitter.com/pmarca">began “tweetstorming” on Twitter</a>–all while serving on the boards of Facebook,<span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 0px;"> </span>eBay, and HP, and running his now influential VC firm, <a href="http://a16z.com">Andreessen Horowitz</a>. Before “Pmarca” could fade completely into oblivion, fans asked Andreessen to preserve the blog for posterity. And that he did. You can now download <a href="http://a16z.com/2015/01/09/pmarca-blog-ebook/">an archive of “Pmarca” as a free ebook</a>. Available in three formats (ePub, Mobi, and PDF), the archived version can be read in pretty much the blog’s original format.

He co-founded PayPal in 1998, before selling it to eBay for $1.5 billion in 2002. He later launched various hedge funds, and made early investments in Facebook. He’s an unabashed libertarian, a proponent of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasteading">Seasteading</a> and <a href="http://www.tedxsv.org/?page_id=516">Singularity</a>, a critic of the American university system, and the creator of the annual <a href="http://www.thielfellowship.org/" target="_blank">Thiel Fellowship</a>, which pays promising college-age students to “stop out” of school for two years and launch business ventures instead.</p> <p>Finally, Thiel is also now the bestselling author of <em><a href="http://amzn.to/10lZoJx">Zero to One: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future</a>. </em>Published in mid-September, the book received a pretty rave review in <em>The Atlantic</em>, where <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2014/09/peter-thiel-zero-to-one-review/380738/">Derek Johnson calls it</a> “a lucid treatise on capitalism and entrepreneurship” and perhaps “the best business book I’ve read.”</p> <p>The book itself is actually a distillation of thoughts Thiel presented in a course he taught at <a href="http://www.stanford.edu/">Stanford</a> in 2012. And it just so happens that the notes from that course — CS138 Startups — <a href="http://blakemasters.com/peter-thiels-cs183-startup">are freely available online</a>. They come courtesy of Blake Masters, a student in Thiel’s class, who later helped the entrepreneur write <em><a href="http://amzn.to/10lZoJx">Zero to One</a>.</em></p> <p>Below, you can find the lecture notes for 19 classes, which, when originally <a href="http://blakemasters.com/peter-thiels-cs183-startup">published on Masters’ site</a>, became pretty popular in the tech community.  Links to these lectures will be permanently housed in our collections of <a href="http://www.openculture.com/business_free_courses">Free Online Business Courses</a> and <a href="http://www.openculture.com/computer_science_free_courses">Free Online Computer Science Courses</a>.

Should there be?” It’s perhaps an unavoidable question when you consider a startling fact cited by the article. According the university itself, five thousand companies “trace their origins to Stanford ideas or to Stanford faculty and students.” The list includes tech giants like Google, Hewlett-Packard, Yahoo, Cisco Systems, Sun Microsystems, eBay, Netflix, Electronic Arts, Intuit, Silicon Graphics, LinkedIn, and E*Trade. And stay tuned, there’s more to come.</p> <div class="oc-center-da"> <div data-fuse="22871471544"></div> </div> <p>Stanford is one of America’s leading incubators, and the rearing of young entrepreneurs doesn’t take place by mere osmosis. No, Stanford students can take courses focused on entrepreneurship, which give them access to seasoned entrepreneurs and financiers. If you head over to <a href="http://ecorner.stanford.edu/">eCorner</a>, short for Entrepreneurship Corner (<a href="http://ecorner.stanford.edu/">Web</a> — <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/stanford-entrepreneurship/id350652979?mt=2" rel="nofollow">iTunes</a> — <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/ecorner">YouTube</a>), you can watch “2000 free videos and podcasts featuring entrepreneurship and innovation thought leaders” who have paid visits to Stanford. Perhaps you’ll recognize a few of the names: <a href="http://ecorner.stanford.edu/author/mark_zuckerberg">Mark Zuckerberg</a>? <a href="http://ecorner.stanford.edu/author/larry_page" rel="nofollow">Larry Page</a>? <a href="http://ecorner.stanford.edu/author/marissa_mayer">Marissa Mayer</a>? <a href="http://youtu.be/tmNmOlx1w-A">Reid Hoffman</a> (above)?</p> <p>Or, if you go to YouTube and iTunes, you’ll gain access to entire courses dedicated to teaching students the modern art of starting startups. Two courses (both housed in our collection of 650 <a href="http://www.openculture.com/freeonlinecourses">Free Online Courses</a> and our collection of 150 <a href="http://www.openculture.com/business_free_courses">Free Online Business Courses</a>) warrant your attention. First, <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/chuckeesley/home2">Chuck Eesley’s</a> course, <em>Technology Entrepreneurship</em> (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF6C0319C607DEDC1&feature=plcp">YouTube</a> — <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/itunes-u/technology-entrepreneurship/id527978262">iTunes Video</a>) introduces students to “the process used by technology entrepreneurs to start companies. It involves taking a technology idea and finding a high-potential commercial opportunity, gathering resources such as talent and capital, figuring out how to sell and market the idea, and managing rapid growth.” The course features 28 video lectures in total.</p> <p>Once you have a broad overview, you can dial into an important part of getting a new venture going — raising capital. Hence the course <em>Entrepreneurship Through the Lens of Venture Capital </em>(<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/course/entrepreneurship-through-lens/id593737634" rel="nofollow">iTunes Video</a> — <a href="http://www.youtube.com/course?list=ECD4B36B6CAFD3E907">YouTube</a>), a course currently taking place at Stanford that “explores how successful startups navigate funding, managing, and scaling their new enterprise.” It features guest speakers from the VC world that fuels Silicon Valley.</p> <p>It goes without saying that Stanford offers many world-class courses across other disciplines, from philosophy and physics to history and literature. You can find 68 courses from Stanford in our ever-growing collection of <a href="http://www.openculture.com/freeonlinecourses">Free Courses Online</a>.</p> <p><strong>Related Content:</strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.openculture.com/2012/06/stanford_launches_iphoneipad_app_course_on_itunesu_with_new_peer-to-peer_learning_features.html" rel="nofollow">Stanford Launches iPhone/iPad App Course on iTunesU</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.openculture.com/2011/03/freesapolskycourse.html">Biology That Makes Us Tick: Free Stanford Course by Robert Sapolsky</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.openculture.com/2010/01/the_stanford_mini_med_school_a_free_course_now_online.html">The Stanford Mini Med School: A Free Course Now Online</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.openculture.com/2012/02/the_art_of_living_a_free_stanford_course_explores_timeless_questions.html">The Art of Living: A Free Stanford Course Explores Timeless Questions</a></p> <div class="alignleft"> <p class="author"> by <a href="https://www.openculture.com/author/dancolman" title="Posts by OC" rel="author">OC</a> | <a href="https://www.openculture.com/2013/02/start_your_startup_with_free_stanford_courses_and_lectures.html" title="Permalink">Permalink</a> | <a href="https://www.openculture.com/2013/02/start_your_startup_with_free_stanford_courses_and_lectures.html#respond" title="Make a comment">Make a Comment</a> ( <a href="https://www.openculture.com/2013/02/start_your_startup_with_free_stanford_courses_and_lectures.html#comments">2</a> ) | </p>   </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="cleared"></div> <a href="https://www.openculture.com/category/entrepreneurship/page/2" >More in this category... »</a> </div>  <div class="middle_sidebar"> <ul id="middle_sidebarwidgeted"> <li id="execphp-431254483" class="widget widget_execphp"><h2 class="widgettitle">Essentials</h2> <div class="execphpwidget"><div class="widgetbox"> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.openculture.com/freeonlinecourses">1,700 Free Online Courses</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.openculture.com/online-certificate-programs">200 Online Certificate Programs</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.openculture.com/online-degrees">100+ Online Degree & Mini-Degree Programs</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.openculture.com/freemoviesonline">1,150 Free Movies</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.openculture.com/freeaudiobooks">1,000 Free Audio Books</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.openculture.com/great-podcasts">150+ Best Podcasts</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.openculture.com/free_ebooks">800 Free eBooks</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.openculture.com/free_textbooks">200 Free Textbooks</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.openculture.com/freelanguagelessons">300 Free Language Lessons</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.openculture.com/business_free_courses">150 Free Business Courses</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.openculture.com/free_k-12_educational_resources">Free K-12 Education</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.openculture.com/dailyemail">Get Our Daily Email</a></li> </ul> </div></div> </li><li id="execphp-431254506" class="widget widget_execphp"><h2 class="widgettitle">Support Us</h2> <div class="execphpwidget"><div class="widgetbox noborder"> <br> We're hoping to rely on loyal readers, rather than erratic ads.
