Quora’s mission is to grow the world’s collective intelligence. We do this by connecting people and AI to share knowledge, collaborate, and solve problems together. By reducing friction in how intelligence is shared—publicly on Quora and privately on Poe—we’re building platforms that make knowledge more accessible and accelerate learning and progress for everyone. Quora is a global knowledge sharing platform with hundreds of millions of monthly unique visitors, connecting writers who have knowledge across millions of topics with a global audience of readers who want to learn from their collective experience. Poe aggregates access to the best models from many different AI companies in a single chat interface across all platforms, and enables creators to build and monetize applications that use these models.

Stanford is a place of discovery, creativity and innovation located in the San Francisco Bay Area on the ancestral land of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe. Dedicated to our founding mission—benefitting society through research and education—we are working toward a sustainable future, accelerating the impact of research with external partners, catalyzing discoveries about ourselves and our world, and educating students as global citizens. Our main campus, which welcomed its first class in 1891, is now home to 650+ student organizations, 36 varsity athletic teams, 20 libraries, 21 living Nobel laureates, 18 interdisciplinary research institutes, seven schools, and a vibrant arts scene. More than 9,000 graduate students and 7,000 undergraduates pursue studies at Stanford each year. Our financial aid program, one of the most generous in the nation, makes it possible for any admitted undergraduate to attend without taking on student debt.
