As the world gets smaller and smaller, the VC Boot Camp’s mission is to build bridges between VC firms from different ecosystems around the world.
The VC-BootCamp supports VCs, incubators, and accelerators as they help entrepreneurs turn good ideas into great businesses. This VC-centric event, is hosted at Stanford GSB (not byStanford) every year in the month of March.
After last year’s success, we have decided to take the VC-BootCamp on a world tour. Sponsored events around the globe include Toronto, Bay Area, Paris, and Tunis (Africa).
The idea of connecting VC firms from different innovation ecosystems has never been more relevant. Every year, during Me2We, we run our VC-BootCamp. A 2 day event where international VC funds meet and learn with the main actors of the Silicon Valley innovation ecosystem.
This Dragon’s Den type event gathers European and American VCs. Entrepreneurs can pitch their idea in front of interested VCs, with an aim to get advice and/or possibly funding / Stanford Graduate School of Business
