Xfund Ethics Fellows

Program Information

What to Expect

The Xfund Fellows Program is an opportunity for Stanford undergraduate and co-terminal students to explore what it means to develop and practice principles in the context of ethical entrepreneurship. The sessions act as forums for the cohort of students to debate business dilemmas, hear from real founders, receive guidance from relevant mentors, and meet peers with whom they might build future ventures. 

Through readings, weekly meetings, student presentations, students define a set of principles that resonate with them and are made to think deeply about decision making.
