As we step into 2026, it’s time to come together as a community and celebrate new beginnings. The Stanford Seed Network is excited to invite all members to our New Year Hangout and Cohort 15 Welcome Ceremony, an event designed to officially welcome our newest members while bringing the entire network together to kick off the year with energy, connection, and purpose.
