Collaborate with the HIT Fund

The High Impact Technology (HIT) Fund guides Stanford innovators—from medicine and engineering to sustainability and social impact—as they transform breakthrough research into real-world ventures. The program’s success depends in large part on the insights and guidance of industry professionals who generously volunteer their time.
Industry professionals contribute to our teams’ HIT Fund experience in three ways:
- As reviewers, assessing the commercial potential of the many applications to the HIT Fund we receive each year from Stanford innovators
- As domain experts, sharing insights on a particular industry, market, or aspect of the entrepreneurial ecosystem through a presentation or discussion
- As advisors, working with an award team on an ongoing basis to guide them on their commercialization journey
We're looking for:
Senior industry professionals willing to share their experience and perspective
