Each of the top five finalists of each edition is invited to join us for our Bootcamp in Boston, MA USA each October.
The Bootcamp is a seven-day/ seven-night extravaganza of sessions within a framework designed to support your continued business growth. You will meet your mentors, industry leaders, and serial entrepreneurs while visiting some of the best incubators, co-working spaces and maker spaces in the world.
You will have opportunities to pitch from the stage in front of American investors, customers and partners followed by networking with these industry leaders. You will not only raise your profile in the community and broaden your network, but also to learn how business is done in the US.
At MIT we start over 1000 companies every year by students and our Alumni. Success is built on not just the knowledge that you get from books but also from 4 things: your heart (mindset), your head (knowledge), hands (capability) and the most important – home – that is how you build your community. Entrepreneurship can be learned, and the framework of 24 Steps provides an excellent basis for this learning. I am delighted to see the discipline with which MIT EF CEE adopted the principles of 24 steps in its acceleration program. I am convinced that startups following these principles, will be much better prepared for any adversity, and build antifragility.
