Hear from MIT Bootcamp graduates on how the experience changed their trajectory.

"The Bootcamp is, well, it's an accelerator meets a creativity incubator. It's all of these things mashed into one. If you come into the Bootcamp with a purpose and desire for impact and where you want to channel it, the Bootcamp will help you unleash it."

Arthur Nelson
Brand Strategy Lead, Google

Bootcamper, MIT Innovation Leadership Bootcamp '19

"The program experience was 10-fold compared to what I expected.  They not only taught me how to create a company in a week, but they gave me a supportive network of the best network and brightest minds. After I left the Bootcamp, I founded a startup. We were supported by Startup Chile and received our first round of investments."

Linda Obregon
Founder & CEO, Foodture

Bootcamper, MIT Innovation Leadership Bootcamp '16

"The Venture Advancement Program gave me everything I needed to get my venture off the ground - a proof of concept partner, confidence, and the right traction."
