We Accelerate Startups Worldwide

4thly Team

4thly is the brainchild of Bret Waters, who has been in Silicon Valley his entire life as an entrepreneur, executive, and investor. Today he teaches entrepreneurship at Stanford Continuing Studies, runs the 4thly Startup Accelerator, and coaches startup CEO’s at Miller Center for Social Entrepreneurship. He’s successfully raised capital multiple times in his career, and the entrepreneurs he has worked with have raised hundreds of millions of dollars in capital. He’s been on the board of the Stanford University Graduate School of Education, been Chief Mentor with the European Innovation Academy, and interim-CEO at Stanford New Schools. He received his MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.

Bret has assembled an amazing 4thly team and an extraordinary range of expert guest speakers, all passionate about the power of entrepreneurship to change the world.
