Details

The Entrepreneurial Simulator is a 3-week program where you will develop your skills and mindset to become a high impact entrepreneur. You will learn about the most important entrepreneurial methodologies to therefore develop an innovative solution to a global problem guided by mentors and entrepreneurship experts. 

WHAT IS THE ENTREPRENEURIAL SIMULATOR? 

A 7-8-week training program (taking place from May to August each year), divided in two stages. 

The first stage is a 4-week online program in which you will start your entrepreneurial journey by mapping the ecosystem you are traveling to. You will also learn about Emerging Technologies and Megatrends, you will meet your fellow treps and choose a group of global challenges you would like to solve.

This first stage is followed by 3-4 weeks in the actual ecosystem where you will solve the global challenge you chose by creating an entrepreneurial project with your team, supported by an Entrepreneur in Residence, mentors and other talented entrepreneurs like you. At the end of the program you will pitch to a panel of investors to validate your idea in the real world. 

The goal is to develop your entrepreneurial competencies in the world's top innovation ecosystems: Silicon Valley, New York, Boston, San Diego, Miami, London, Madrid and Mexico City. 

WHAT DOES THE ENTREPRENEURIAL SIMULATOR PROGRAM INCLUDE? 

  • Online Stage: a 4-week guided online course to prepare yourself for the journey by mapping the entrepreneurial ecosystem, learn about Emerging Technologies and choose a global challenge to solve.

  • On-site Stage: 3-4 weeks in the Entrepreneurial Simulator Program at the ecosystem.

WHY IS TREPCAMP THE LEADING TRAINING PROGRAM FOR ENTREPRENEURS?

Our experience defines our method and the participants support our quality. We envision TrepCamp as a way to teach entrepreneurship and guide participants to the right path. We see entrepreneurship as an extreme sport: in order to make the great jump you need to have the proper preparation, because the stakes are high.

We believe that the power of entrepreneurship is the main force to the most important changes in the world.

HOW IS THE PROGRAM DIFFERENT ON EACH ECOSYSTEM?

The big difference is the clusters that the program has on each ecosystem. However, TrepCamp’s program curriculum is the same across all ecosystems. Nevertheless, every program is unique due to its Online Stage, the activities, the Entrepreneur in Residence, the workshops, mentors & speakers and the Demo Day.
