Program

SLP is not a bootcamp. We want our Fellows to be the world’s best-trained Startup CEOs when they complete the program and try to create an advanced, personalized learning experience. Our faculty is a mix of Entrepreneurs, VCs and Specialists, as well as our Fellows. Every year, thanks to innovative ideas and feedback from Fellows, our curriculum improves by leaps and bounds, always staying relevant and cutting edge. Here are some aspects of our curriculum which we aim to deliver mostly simulations, exercises, HBS and SLP Startup cases and direct individual feedback, and in rarer instances, through talks and panels.
