Dive in, get your hands dirty, and start learning, growing, and building. Topics include: business model design, customer development, how to pitch, defining metrics, marketing, intellectual property, and more!
This will be the third installment of YouNoodle Camp, each one bringing a new cohort of aspiring entrepreneurs to experience all the Silicon Valley has to offer. Here are a few highlights from our previous programs to give you a sense of what to expect at the 2013 YouNoodle Camp.
“As an entrepreneur from the Far East, the YouNoodle Camp was the best way to learn about Silicon Valley. I wish more entrepreneurs could get a chance like this.”
– Josh Jaehong Kim, CEO of Zoyi Inc, 2011 cohort
“This camp is a life changing experience! If you think you’re just going to get a normal summer, you’re wrong. If you want your life to take a 180, you need to attend.”
– Rita Quijada, ITESM, 2011 Cohort
“During this camp I had the chance to discover the potential in every single idea, the tools to make them happen, and the confidence to pursue those new dreams.”
