We are proud to introduce the first Entrepreneur Club Founder's Retreat, set in the serene Swiss mountains, and completely free of charge! This event is your gateway into entrepreneurship, specifically designed for individuals eager to dive into the subject but have never found a good opportunity to learn. Dive into real-world challenges and present your innovative solutions to industry experts, such as founders and VCs (investors) from some of Switzerland's most exciting funds and startups!
Note: no prior experience needed, you don't need an idea, and you don't need a team. Just motivation and the right mindset 😊
🏁 What is the application deadline?
Latest deadline is January 2nd 2024 but we encourage you to submit your application before December 22 as we will start processing applications shortly after this date !
Departure early afternoon from Lausanne.
Matchmaking party! You'll get to meet every other person at the retreat in various little workshops and the networking party which will follow 😉.
Time for the hackathon! Unlike any other hackathon you've done before, this one is not focused on diving straight into a solution. Instead, with your team, you will focus on iterating on a problem as quickly as possible, contacting people, and gathering real data from real conversations. You will be able to put what you learned from the workshops into practice as you dive into a founder's world for a day...
Note: There are no pre-requisite like knowing how to code or design.
And now, presentations! You'll be able to tell the story of your market validation journey, sharing the cool conversations you had, how you decided the problem you wanted to work on, and what your proposed solution is to a super talented jury composed of investors, entrepreneurs, and other industry experts!
This event is specifically designed to not be a competition, just focus on reaching your goal!
