About this Program

BootUP invites highly motivated entrepreneurs to apply to join our intensive one-week Bootcamp to help startups accelerate growth by focusing on the three Ms of startup success: Mindset, Model, & Messaging. If you are selected to participate in this Bootcamp, you will meet some of the brightest and most talented mentors across Silicon Valley in small groups and one-on-one sessions.

  • Mindset: It all starts with the right mindset. As an entrepreneur, your mindset is the machine that empowers you for the entire journey. We will help you transform the way you think, learn, and bring ideas to reality, enabling you to identify and prioritize what matters most to grow your startup.

  • Model: The rise in technology and innovation has changed the way consumers behave and businesses operate. We will help you refine your business model and identify ways to better leverage resources. We will also help you identify and evaluate metrics that investors care about most.

  • Messaging: The ability to clearly communicate a message is key to a startup's success. Most entrepreneurs struggle to articulate their value proposition in a clear and compelling way that WOWs their audience. Whether you are messaging to customers or investors, we will work with you in multiple sessions to help you get it right.
