Welcome to todays issue of the [Startup Digest]! For everyone new to the Digest here is where I publish the best tech and entrepreneurship events from BASES, Stanford, and the rest of the San Francisco Bay Area.
If you are a regular subscriber here you may notice there has been a lot of new changes to the Digest in this issue. We upgradeded the format to include inbound links to make it easier to scroll through the events, we aded bolding to all of the event details to help spot the important info, we added a “Startup Job of the Week” section similar to the “Startup Event of the Week” section which we highlighted last week, and I added some startup resources on the bottom of the page.
With all the new changes here we would love any feedback, suggestions, or comments you may have. Please email me directly at chris.mccann @ bases.stanford.edu with any or all feedback to help make the Digest the best experience for you.
