MOST Podcast #3 | Darsh Mann | How Stanford students created the venture community StartX with 16 unicorns

It is no secret that Stanford is one of the most prestigious universities in U.S. Most of the founders of major technology companies graduated from this university. But not many people know that Stanford has its own community of startup founders called StartX. It has more than 700 startups with a combined valuation of more than $26 billion. Alim Khamitov, managing partner and co-founder of MOST Ventures, met with the head of StartX, Darsh Mann, in Almaty. In this podcast you will know how StartX was created, what unites successful founders in America, why the community does not take stakes in startups and whether this model can be replicated in Central Asia. The podcast is in English.
