I’ve gotten several questions from friends and family asking what being a Sloan Fellow is all about. To make things simple, I’ve been telling them that it’s the closest thing to an EMBA that Stanford GSB offers — but based on what I’ve been reading, it is quite a bit more than that.

I found Herbert (Stanford Sloan Class of 2013) already had an excellent blog posting describing the difference between the Stanford Sloan program and other MBA / EMBA programs.

So, for those of you in my new cohort – I look forward to working on new ideas with you. I’m currently in the early stages of a Maker-Movement related startup, but we hope to be launched and operational by the time we start the Sloan program.
