DEADLINE EXTENDED! APPLICATIONS DUE JULY 8!
We are excited to announce that the next GIST Startup Boot Camp will take place in Lima, Peru from August 15 to 18, 2016 at UTEC, Universidad de Ingenieria y Tecnologia.
According to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), Peru is one of the most entrepreneurial countries in Latin America, and among the most entrepreneurial efficiency-driven economies. However, Peruvian entrepreneurs face several factors that constrain their growth including financial support and education and training.
Fortunately, teams participating in GIST Startup Boot Camps receive practical training on customer discovery, business models, channel economics, market discovery and pitching. They also have access to one-on-one coaching from international and local mentors. The program also offers teams a chance to “get out of the building” to discover their potential customers.
On the final day, the teams participate in a Demo Day and present all they have learned to instructors and a panel of expert judges. The top teams receive seed capital for their ventures. All participating teams have access to continued mentorship.
"The Boot Camp is an important step into consolidating an innovation culture in our scientific and research community. We believe this event will set the groundwork to progress scientific and basic reasearch into commercial opportunities in the country," said Gonzalo Villarán, Director at UTEC Ventures.
