Market Proof
Every project begins with interviews, surveys, and feedback from real people
Founded 2026 in the East Bay
Project Stallion Club helps students turn business curiosity into practical startup experience. Members meet Thursdays to research customers, validate venture ideas, study angel and VC funding, and publish progress toward focused student-led ventures across the East Bay.
Why the club exists
The club gives students a structured way to practice leadership, teamwork, communication, finance, marketing, and customer discovery while building something real enough to sell.
Every project begins with interviews, surveys, and feedback from real people
Members turn ideas into customer proof, pitch decks, budget models, and funding stories
