Use Bitcamp to…

  • Find an entrepreneurship program

    Bitcamp pulls from a rich community to create incredible technical and entrepreneurial workshops for its hackers. Workshops can be sponsored or student/mentor-led, providing a wide variety of beginner-friendly topics to chose from.

  • Learn about entrepreneurship

    Hackers have access to workshops that build on their technical and entrepreneurial skills. They also demo their projects - allowing the opportunity to learn how to effectively communicate technical feats, obstacles, and vision to non-technical audiences.

  • Mentor entrepreneurs

    Bitcamp is made possible by the volunteers and mentors who generously donate their time to guide hackers in overcoming obstacles and submitting a project.

  • Recruit interns & hire future grads

    Bitcamp is a great place to influence a diverse group of the nation’s brightest makers, all working on different projects and possessing different skill sets. Our event presents an excellent opportunity for recruitment and tech evangelism.
