The Startup Experience is an intense two-day camp for future entrepreneurs and innovators. The program is designed to train the participants in the art of high tech entrepreneurship and customer driven innovation.
The Startup Experience simulates the entrepreneur’s journey – all the way from problem identification to business pitch. The participants compete in temporary startup teams to; identify and select a specific user need -> do research to find and screen relevant technologies -> generate ideas and conceptualize a brilliant solution -> find a sustainable business model -> use visual communication and prototyping to pitch the idea to a professional jury.
During the camp, the participants will improve their creative capacity and find inspiration for future ventures. The participants learn to how identify problems, to look at these problems as opportunities, and gain the confidence to become the innovators of tomorrow.
The Startup Experience program is inspired by theoretical frameworks from Stanford University. The method has been well tested and proven to be highly effective for inspiring young people to become successful entrepreneurs.
