About
A community built by participants, for participants.
STN South Asia is the regional chapter of the Stanford Seed Transformation Network - a peer community of CEOs and founders carrying forward the work they began at Stanford.
Origin
Where the network begins.
After completing the 10-month Stanford Seed Transformation Program, participants across Africa, South Asia and Indonesia join the Seed Transformation Network to carry on their work, support each other and intensify their impact.
The South Asia chapter brings together members from India, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka - a regional community bound by a shared experience and a shared ambition for the businesses and societies they lead.
