Join Velocity for an immersive and fully sponsored week in Silicon Valley, designed specifically for aspiring Swedish entrepreneurs. This unique program is an opportunity for budding founders to dive deep into their startup ideas while connecting with influential Swedish entrepreneurs who have successfully raised millions in funding. The agenda is packed with engaging talks, informal walks, and networking dinners featuring a diverse lineup of founders, mentors, and investors, all aimed at elevating your entrepreneurial ambition.Velocity will take place in San Francisco, offering participants a chance to engage in meaningful conversations with a selection of high-profile speakers including the CEO and co-founder of Databricks, the CEO of Cornershop, and many others leading innovative companies. Attendees will have the chance to discuss cutting-edge topics such as AI co-pilots in construction, robotics simulation platforms, AI lending for SMEs, and much more. Furthermore, participants will benefit from free office space at Founders House in Stockholm after the fellowship, allowing them to build their projects alongside previous fellows and unicorn founders.This program is open to Swedish citizens or permanent residents under 30 years old, who are currently working on independent projects, whether or not they have a functioning product. A highlight of the experience will be personal 1:1 sessions with founders and operators from some of the world's leading companies and startups, as well as access to venture capitalists and angel investors who can potentially fund your ideas. The trip is structured to foster collaboration and support among cohort members, culminating in a pitch event where participants can present their projects to a select group of investors and founders. In addition, this year’s Velocity will conclude with a special surprise event in Stockholm, solidifying the connections made during the week. The application process includes submitting a one-minute video and a 10-minute interview for those selected, making this a truly valuable opportunity for the next generation of entrepreneurs.
