My experience at GEB Jakarta was splendid. The speakers motivated me to implement my ideas as I intend to be an entrepreneur. It was like a wake up call, like it's never too early nor too late, the time is now. And now I feel like I have a lot to unleash yet I never felt like that before the bootcamp, I'm highly motivated.

Likewise, the cultural night was totally amazing getting everyone from different backgrounds in one particular place with lots of love and passion to learn & enjoy.

Being invited to join the Global Entrepreneurship Bootcamp Bangkok 2018 as a Speaker and Mentor was one of the best experiences of my business life so far. It was amazing to experience the creativity and innovative ideas the delegates came up with, as well as share experience and meet other mentors making contacts I will keep in touch with for life. Overall, I would highly recommend getting involved with this wonderful organisation and I send my deepest gratitude to the organising team. I can't wait for the next one and look forward to seeing you there.

GEB was a lifechanging experience, and I would recommend it to any entrepreneur looking to challenge their status quo, collaborate with and learn from like-minded delegates and mentors across the world. The bootcamp gave me a reignited sense of motivation towards achieving my life goals and the network to match. The unique cultural explosion that took place for those long days and nights was like nothing I had ever experienced. It taught me a deeper sense of global unity and appreciation. The downtimes were some of my favorites as we were able to connect and learn more about our fellow young entrepreneurs and mentors; their personal experiences, their advice to help build ourselves and our companies was priceless. All in all, GEB 2018 in Thailand was amazing

I feel thrilled to share my heart-warming experience at the first Global Entrepreneurship Boot camp which was set in one of the most offbeat places called Kakani in Nepal. On reaching the Boot camp, I wouldn’t deny about being nervous initially while coming across other delegates and having some interesting conversations. I thanked my stars and felt proud to be amongst these extraordinary people from varied domains and different nationalities achieving so much at such young age. I had entered GEB with a belief to survive the forthcoming amazing days of Learning|Unlearning|Relearning and in the end with a bright smile conquered the camp and won some amazing memories and a network for life.

The Global Entrepreneurship Bootcamp not only gave us the opportunity to network with people from various countries, but it also gave us the platform to grow intellectually through the various mentorship lessons and skillfully through the business tasks we were given to work on. The location it was held at (Kakani) was simply breathtaking and refreshing as we woke up each morning to the beautiful view of green hills and clouds. The GEB was an unforgettable experience

Attending the GEB in Nepal has been a tremendous opportunity to learn, network and keep up with entrepreneurship knowledge base. Very good, hands-on information were shared from competent mentors who gave us the best as far as entrepreneurship is concerned. Meeting with fellow youngsters from 12 different countries was the other thing to appreciate about the bootcamp. I really appreciate the time and efforts put forth by the GEB team and the organizers. I'm looking forward to utilize the experience gained with the youth in my country.

GEB was an absolutely perfect package. Three days of experience at bootcamp which was set out far from the congested city was amazing! Interactions with 52 young entrepreneurs from 12 different countries, all those mentoring, skype sessions, success stories shared by our speakers and moreover, the teamwork have had great impact on us. I look forward to utilize whatever I have learnt throughout those days. Apart from the life-long network, GEB flourished my strengths as a young entrepreneur. Thank you so much GEB for such a wonderful opportunity to learn and grow intellectually. The way everything was organized was simply conmmendable.
