Where can you find the founders of Groupon, Sun Microsystems, GitHub, Facebook, Quora and LinkedIn all in one place? The answer is Ycombinator's Startup School, where the world's leading entrepreneurs and investors come together to teach hundreds of students and entrepreneurs the tricks of the trade.
I'm here live from the Dinkelspiel Auditorium at Stanford University for the third edition of Startup School. Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, Sequoia Capital's Greg McAdoo, Quora's Adam D'Angelo and many more are slated to speak. While this auditorium can only hold a couple hundred people, you can still watch today's talks thanks to Justin.tv.
I'll be writing about many of today's talks and providing some analysis, so be sure to watch out for that. The live stream for Startup School is included below, along with today's schedule.
Update: The Internet's having issues; hopefully the live stream will be up and running again soon.
