Stanford Consulting
Stanford Consulting was spun out of Stanford in Business in 1992 by Ted Lai, Kevin Brannon, and Carlo Pugnetti. Our tradition of value-added case work began with an engagement with Siemens analyzing entry strategies into various electronics and telecommunications markets. The organization also conducted a number of marketing and feasibility studies for local businesses during our first years. At this time, the group primarily consisted of engineering students.
By 1996, Stanford Consulting saw revenues rise significantly. We developed an especially strong competency within the high-technology industry in tandem with the sector's tremendous growth. The organization attracted members from a diverse range of departments spanning engineering, physical sciences, social sciences, and humanities. This year marked the beginning of a close, three year relationship with Trilogy. 1996 also signified the inception of additional programs to improve the business training of our members. A number of professional service firms sponsored brown bag lunches and the organization developed a series of research and communication workshops.
Today, Stanford Consulting continues to expand our commitment to providing top-quality service to our clients and exceptional experience to its members. Our ability to meet and exceed these goals has ensured steady revenue growth for the group. These funds enable Stanford Consulting to continue to improve its training resources and to in turn offer our clients an elevated level of service.

Gumball Capital
One billion people live in extreme poverty, struggling to survive on less than $1/day. Microfinance – financial services including microloans to the poor – has successfully helped 150 million people improve their quality of life. The Grameen Bank and its founder Muhammad Yunus won the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize for work in "giving a hand up, not a hand out." However, 1.5 billion people could still benefit from microfinance support.
Gumball Capital tackles this issue by engaging students to fight poverty through microfinance. We do this through three ways: 1) The Gumball Challenge, a competition where students experience entrepreneurship first hand, and raise money for… 2) the Gumball Fund, which allocates Challenge revenue into microloans for the working poor in the developing world; and 3) Gumball University, our free online portal which functions as a guide for social entrepreneurship and microfinance.
We believe these three programs, the Challenge, Fund, and University, are the best way to teach students about social entrepreneurship, and in turn raise a new generation of entrepreneurs to break the intergenerational cycle of poverty.
