Week 1: SF Summer Venture Program
5月23日星期一，我们在旧金山开始了2016个夏季创业项目！SF高级副总裁，IdaRose Sylvesterwelcomed our11个团队to the Bay Area and introduced the Silicon Valley mindset and entrepreneurial ecosystem.之后，we solved a team building puzzle and went bowling,which was a great opportunity to connect with each other and start to build a community.It was an entertaining evening filled with laughter,聪明的绰号，以及友好的竞争。
We are excited to have 3 amazing advisors @ 金博宝Babson-SF:
Elliott Adams– Professor @ Hult Buisness School and Director of Startup Next SF
Michelle Messina– CEO @ Explora International and Co-Author of Decoding Silicon Valley
Ian Thiel–新产品主管@optimizly和Babson Alum'12金博宝
顾问们为初创企业带来了丰富的知识和经验，business acceleration,and market readiness.然后，每个小组都会与一名顾问进行配对，他们将在项目期间与该顾问合作。
The next day,我们两个人的第一次谈话RussianVenture Capitalists from theInternet Initiatives Development Fund (IIDF)and they listened to four pitches.晚上，we attended a成长的黑客对话@yelpwhere we learned about guerrilla strategy for startup marketing,SEO-boosting tips,一步一步地快速发展社会媒体社区。
We also had our first *Hot Seat* whereJoe McHugh（地球贷款）提出了他的想法，并得到了坦诚，constructive feedback from the group.随后，Joe worked closely with SVP Faculty DirectorMary Gale,IdaRose,埃利奥特,和参与者Jonathan Kong(DayPop) and迈克尔·克鲁姆(Kiwi International) to rebuild his presentation.几个小时后，Joe re-pitched his business and was very grateful for everyone's valuable insights,问题，and critiques.
最后，我们的企业家在一个开放的地方建立了他们的合作空间，公共教室！Gustavo Diaz(Tectonics World) is already utilizing Think Board,多亏了Hanson Grant(SVP Wellesley).
It's been an awesome first week of SVP @ 金博宝Babson San Francisco- stay tuned for more updates!
