  • Agenda
  • The very first Student Startup Camp ONLINE

    Student Startup Camp is an annual event held together with University of Tartu sTARTUp Lab and Institute of Computer Science. It is an entrepreneurship bootcamp where you learn the basics of launching a tech startup.

    This year we will be focusing mostly on questions like: 
    - you have a startup idea, what are the first steps? 
    - how to validate your idea? 
    - how to build a business model around it? 
    - how and what to design/build in the very early stages of your startup?

    You will be guided through the most important steps by active startup entrepreneurs and trainers who collaborate to create a hands-on learning experience.

    The course consists of teamwork, intensive mentoring, hands-on talks on specific topics around launching a tech startup and inspirational talks by the #EstonianMafia founders, including people behind Garage48.

    For whom?
    The bootcamp is aimed at students from Estonia and elsewhere with a background in IT, engineering, design, marketing, and business. The camp also welcomes participants from other disciplines, especially those who bring along with them novel ideas and an entrepreneurial can-do attitude. Every participant will be able to pitch an idea for the camp and/or join an idea one likes the most.

    Credit points
    Students enrolled in Estonian higher-education institutions may obtain 3 ECTS for successful participation in the camp. Please tick the "3 ECTS" box in the registration form if you wish to obtain credit points and we will give you instructions for next steps. 

    Registration
    Students from all universities are eligible. Please also register when you already signed up in ÕIS.

    Location
    This year the event takes place online. All registered participants will receive a link to Slack and Zoom - our main tools to run the event.
