Lecturer
BioScott Brady is a founding partner at Innovation Endeavors, an early stage venture capital firm with offices in Palo Alto and New York City,. Previously Scott was a serial entrepreneur and co-founded three publicly traded tech companies.
In his role as an investor, Scott looks to partner with entrepreneurs who are tackling technically difficult challenges that are capital intensive and truly transformative. These companies leverage a proliferation of data and new computation and automation tools to run more experiments; learn and iterate faster, better, and cheaper; and speed up the growth cycle.
Scott has led Innovation Endeavors investments in multiple Stanford Graduate School of Business-founded companies, including Plenty, which is driving the evolution of the $3 trillion agriculture industry with indoor, vertical farms that are powered by machine learning, data science, and automation; Clear Metal, which is leveraging AI and machine learning to clean up disorganized, dirty data in the supply chain, making it easier to predict problems and manage complexity; and Citrine, which uses AI and massive data sets to accelerate materials discovery and product development.

Prior to working at Slice, he was co- founder and chief executive officer of FiberTower, co-founder and chief technology officer of Clarus Corp., and co-founder and chief technology officer of SQLFinancials.

Geoffrey Cohen
James G. March Professor of Organizational Studies in Education and Business, Professor of Psychology and, by courtesy, of Organizational Behavior at the Graduate School of Business
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMuch of my research examines processes related to identity maintenance and their implications for social problems. One primary aim of my research is the development of theory-driven, rigorously tested intervention strategies that further our understanding of the processes underpinning social problems and that offer solutions to alleviate them. Two key questions lie at the core of my research: “Given that a problem exists, what are its underlying processes?” And, “Once identified, how can these processes be overcome?” One reason for this interest in intervention is my belief that a useful way to understand psychological processes and social systems is to try to change them. We also are interested in how and when seemingly brief interventions, attuned to underlying psychological processes, produce large and long-lasting psychological and behavioral change.
The methods that my lab uses include laboratory experiments, longitudinal studies, content analyses, and randomized field experiments. One specific area of research addresses the effects of group identity on achievement, with a focus on under-performance and racial and gender achievement gaps. Additional research programs address hiring discrimination, the psychology of closed-mindedness and inter-group conflict, and psychological processes underlying anti-social and health-risk behavior.
