Silicon Valley

We explore the city with a local resident, not with a tour guide following a set itinerary. You see the logic behind how this city was built and understand why everything else began right here. In the evening, everyone shares aloud where they are right now and what they want to change over the course of this week.

You break down the algorithms of a professional network with someone who knows them from the inside, and rewrite your profile right on the spot. Then it connects you with partners, investors, and clients without your daily involvement.

We head to the Pacific coast, to a small town where people come specifically to think. There, together with your team, you’ll build your own startup in a single day and pitch it to investors. In the evening, we’ll celebrate the end of the camp.

On the final morning, we’ll have breakfast together and formalize the agreements reached within the group. You’ll fly home with a plan for the next thirty days—not just photos.

We spend the day at the university that gave rise to the tech valley. You explore the dynamics that turned this educational institution into the hub of an entire industry, and you find yourself at a student sports festival that the students organize entirely on their own, from start to finish. You see how a large-scale project is managed through the eyes of twenty-year-olds.

You spend the day with a founder who went from being an employee to starting his own company. He doesn’t speak from a stage, but right beside you: he tells you when he left his job, how he made ends meet, and what he did when his money ran out. You ask questions tailored to your specific situation and get answers the very same day.

Ninety-nine percent of founders don’t receive funding from venture capital firms. We break down what sets apart the one percent who do: the logic behind how a fund selects companies, where the business valuation figure comes from, and what mistakes close the door before the first meeting even takes place. Next, you’ll pitch your idea yourself and hear exactly at what moment they stop listening to you.

In a lab on the campus of one of the world’s top universities, you’ll work alongside an active developer to build your own AI assistant tailored to your specific needs. You’ll walk out of there with a working tool—not just a theoretical outline of the future—and gain insight into where your business is already losing money today.

We meet with people who work at the world’s largest tech companies and get an inside look at their work: how they set goals, how many weeks it takes to go from idea to release, and what they do with a hypothesis that didn’t work out.
