Eddy visits Stanford!
Yesterday was great! A special friend visited Stanford: Edouard du Breuil (Eddy), who lived in the same hallway as me when I was studying in Lund, Sweden back in 2005.
We had a great time (our whole hallway meshed really well) and when my sisters and I visited Paris around Christmas time during our whirlwind tour of Europe, Eddy met up with us. He took us to the best bakery in Paris — somewhere that we would have never found without him.
After Lund, Eddy finished his degree in business & finance and started working at Lazard in their M&A group. Eddy would like to attend business school in the US at some point, and took some vacation to visit his brother in NYC (Columbia and NYU) and then come out to San Francisco to visit Berkeley and Stanford. It was so great to meet him after nearly 4 years! It felt like old times. He has some interesting plans coming up, and even has an interest in clean technology as well! We had lunch and walked around campus for a few hours before headed back to the City for a goodbye party. Eddy has some photos on his camera — I’ll put them up when I get them.
Later that evening, after running some errands, I got a call from Brian – a Cal Poly student I met at the ThinkGreen conference — saying that he and a friend was going to be heading through Palo Alto en route back to San Luis Obispo. Amit and I met them at the Old Pro and we had a great chat. His friend Chris headed up the Cal Poly business plan competition and both of them have such inspiring entrepreneurial stories. Definitely need to connect them and Cal Poly to BASES. A lot of what Brian described about regarding Cal Poly and the awakening of entrepreneurship there reminded me of what’s happening at NC State. Good times.

Saket, thanks for the kind words!
I enjoyed hearing all your stories and I really appreciated the quick follow up introduction with BASES. Check out the blog post I just wrote where I talk about follow up and used your email as a perfect example http://tinyurl.com/cay89f

I still remember those amazing macaroons we got from that bakery. Eddy was amazing for taking time on Christmas Day to show us around. :)
