Stanford Student Enterprises is a young, dynamic organization which reflects the energy and talent of our student employees, but our close affiliation with the ASSU imbues SSE with a tradition as old as Stanford University itself. First organized in 1891, the ASSU is the designated representative of the student body. As a step towards financial independence, the ASSU stopped receiving funding from the University in 1995. In 1996, Financial Manager John Hall founded Stanford Student Enterprises in order to ensure the long-term financial viability and independence of the Association. Today, SSE has five enterprises with more than seventy employees and total assets exceeding $19 million – we manage our short and long term investments, operate a banking service for all student groups, sell Stanford apparel, have a startup accelerator program, provide consulting services, and house a web design and development agency. Although we strive to continually grow existing programs, we endeavor to maintain an environment of entrepreneurship and opportunity and leverage the innovation and expertise of Stanford University students.
