2012 e-Bootcamp Finalist
“For me, coming from a small country and a college so
different, the impact was extraordinary. The
knowledge gathered from the program is
immeasurable. Now that I’m back here, I feel like a
complete expert in entrepreneurial topics and
think I’m able to lead other students like me on
their path for making new business.”
Ignacio Ayanz (ALP GROUP S.A, Argentina)
2012 e-Bootcamp Participant
“Getting to meet real investors with real objectives and
different frames of mind, was one of the most useful
experiences I had during this program. Also, meeting
fellow entrepreneurs, with all kinds of projects and
ideas was a most enriching experience, not only
because of the path every entrepreneur shares, but
also because of their different strategic visions,
depending, among other things, on their native
country.”
Fabricio Meuller, (V3D Studios, Brazil)
2012 e-Bootcamp Participant
“My participation at E-Bootcamp was a life change
experience. I had an incredible opportunity to
meet people from all around the world, to build
friendships, to gain a lot of knowledge, to meet
incredible entrepreneurs and to visit successful
companies.”
