Dear Friends,
This summer you will be given the opportunity to meet the people who changed the world, learn how to establish a company, and create your very own product, all in the heart of the Bay Area. Silicon Valley has been home to almost all successful entrepreuners of the 21st century. Before Google was the preeminent search engine or PayPal allowed us to make online payments, they were sim
ply ideas waiting to thrive. The Plug and Play Center, a global accelerator that specializes in growing tech startups, became home not only to these ideas, which save our lives everyday, but also to their founders, developers and everyone involved in these projects. At our program, this place will be your new home. As the Club Silicon Valley, we invite you to an exclusive 2-week-long entrepreneurship program between the 18th of July and the 2nd of August.
