What is the VC Boot Camp?
Building bridges between various Tech ecosystems is more crucial than ever. By connecting VC firms, Stanford corporate innovation participants and entrepreneurs from the Silicon Valley, Europe and Africa, the VC-BootCamp promises to create value not only for your organization, but also for you. The VC-BootCamp is a participant-organized and driven event, hosted at Stanford GSB – Toronto – Paris – Africa.
As the world gets smaller and smaller, the VC-BootCamp’s mission is to build bridges between different ecosystems around the world. By driving technological innovation, Venture Capital is a critical part of the future. In partnership with EuraTech France, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Canopy Rivers, the CCO & MaRS Innovation, the VC-BootCamp supports VCs, incubators, and accelerators as they help entrepreneurs turn good ideas into great businesses.
VC-BootCamp’s goal is to shape a global venture capital ecosystem that will:
• Connect LEADers and investors from all over the world
• Give an opportunity to Corporate innovators and traditional VCs to learn and invest outside of their comfort zone.
Official registrations for Startups will open on April 10th. You can start by expressing your interest below.
