I think it would have been better if they had created all the Stanford Classes under single domain rather to have different for each one of them.

It isn't just Stanford classes--the SAAS class is from Berkeley. However, having a hub of such classes from different universities would be really awesome.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

What do you guys make of those two classes, which one would you choose if you had only time for one of them ? (asking because right now AI and ML require quite some time and I want to do other technical classes starting january ^^)

I'd take Chuck Eesley's class first. The Lean LaunchPad class is a methodology driven version of the 2012 update to the Four Steps to the Epiphany.

I am no quite sure if I should take this class - or the Entrepreneurship one for that matter. I am busy start a startup. This classes will probably take quite some time and I can't really imagine, what I could possibly learn form them, that I haven't picked up from various resources linked here over time. What do you think?

Is there any information about how the class will work?

The non-virtual version of this class is heavily team based, and people are expected to go and find customers and actually talk to them(!). The workload is also quite heavy - I believe around 20 hours per week.

How will the team part work for the online class?

Edit: also, on the off chance anyone is thinking about teams already, I'd be interested in talking.

So there is nothing Steve Blank could teach you that you don't already know? Besides, these classes involve getting into teams and trying out the concepts from class (and might have read about on HN) in the real world. I think you might learn a lot.

I would not look "stupid" to you, but I'm not even sure I've understood the actual differences between the two classes :( Did you find the course schedule or some more detailed informations about them?

Here's the original Stanford Tech Entrepreneurship syllabus: http://e145.stanford.edu/

and this seems to be the one of the lean startup launchpad: http://www.slideshare.net/sblank/e245-syllabus-rev15
