The next boot-camp will be an intense 4-1/2 days to be held August 13-17, 2018, at UC Berkeley’s Sutardja Center for Entrepreneurship.
The bootcamp facilitates immersive learning for new venture creation. This workshop offers a one-of-a-kind experience in one of the premier institutions in Silicon Valley. During the program, participants will attend sessions that weave together lectures and interactive game-based exercises, receive one-on-one mentoring from Sutardja Center faculty and industry experts; and learn in a collaborative environment.
