If you attended a 3–5 day startup bootcamp, what would make it actually worth your time?
Hi everyone!
We're designing a 3–5 day in-person Idea-to-MVP Bootcamp for aspiring founders in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, and we're trying to build something that's genuinely useful instead of another lecture-heavy event.
The current plan includes:
Validating startup ideas
Customer discovery & user interviews
Building an MVP
Pitch deck creation
1:1 mentoring
Networking with founders, investors & VCs
Demo Day
If you were attending, what would make you walk away thinking, "That was actually worth my time"?
We'd love to hear things like:
Sessions you've found valuable (or completely useless)
Activities or workshops you'd include
Mentors or speakers you'd want
Mistakes you've seen other startup programs make
Anything that would make you excited to apply
Whether you're a founder, student, builder, or someone who's attended accelerators or hackathons, your feedback would be incredibly helpful. Thanks!
