eXtreme Tuesday Club

The eXtreme Tuesday Club (XTC) was an informal group of students at the University of Washington in the late 1960s, primarily composed of future influential thinkers like Bill Gates and Paul Allen. The club organized unconventional, creative activities beyond academics, fostering innovation and collaboration. Its name reflected the group's commitment to pushing boundaries and thinking outside traditional norms, aligning with the innovative spirit that later characterized the tech industry. While not a formal organization, XTC is recognized for nurturing early relationships and ideas that contributed to the growth of the technology sector and entrepreneurial ventures.
