BASES
BASES appears in Dimitri Dadiomov on Modern Treasury and Financial Plumbing as the Stanford entrepreneurship group that connected Dimitri Dadiomov with Jessica Livingston in 2006. Dadiomov was a Stanford University undergraduate and BASES president when he helped Y Combinator host Startup School at Stanford.
The source uses BASES mainly as relationship context. It explains why Livingston had known Dadiomov for many years before interviewing him about Modern Treasury, and it adds another example of YC’s early startup-community work around campuses and events.
Yin Wu on Pulley, Equity, and Founder Resilience adds Yin Wu as another BASES-linked founder. Yin helped Y Combinator host Startup School at Stanford University in 2010, including handling a last-night auditorium uncertainty before a large event. The episode uses BASES as part of Yin’s transition from seeing startups as small businesses to seeing Silicon Valley company-building as a possible path.
