In-Person on the Silicon Valley campus is impressive. There are several good reasons for choosing a virtual format.
In-Person
The program maximizes learning in a super-intensive schedule with 8 AM to 8 PM activities, Monday to Friday. The 'classes only' option is less intensive.
Our holistic approach encompasses a mix of classroom lectures, mentoring labs, and networking opportunities with Silicon Valley investors and leaders. Alternating on-campus and off-campus events ensures participants are always fresh and energized.
Virtual
Program sessions are live-online, no recordings, every Saturday for 10 weeks, improving your skills without compromising your work and family responsibilities. Classes, mentoring labs, and supporting activities are broken into weekly bite-sized modules with incremental deadlines.
Due to the program's virtual nature, group work replaces social events to network and exchange ideas between participants.
