Cambridge, a small town located near the Capital London of UK, is much more than the tiny word “town” could bury----but rather heaven for entrepreneurs and palace for intellectual talents. Blessed to set our feet on this holy piece of land, we were deeply immersed in that atmosphere full of academy, innovative and inspiration.
We spent precious time studying at Cambridge from Jan.28th to Feb.9that the beginning of 2018. On the curriculum, a few renowned and knowledgeable professors gave lectures on varies aspects from starting to succeeding in entrepreneurship. Prof. Chris Loweintroduced the significance of Cambridge innovation initiatives and what entrepreneurship meant and requested.Dr. William Bains talked about fundamental accounting, fundraising and valuation, and showed us the tricks in elevator pitch.Dr. Stella Wooder began with Plans for start-ups, a huge demanding work concerning tools,Costs, budget and risk management etc., and ended with a small testing competition on identifying gaps and areas of risk in case studies, done in team work.In two very packed weeks we students got a huge amount and a lot of more formal teaching materials to take away.
For leisure time we paid visits to malls around, other beautiful universities like Oxford, LSE etc., taking in the beautiful scenery as well as fully relaxing ourselves.
It is curved to heart that nobody is born with a mind for business. Through professional learning can one be skilled, experienced and be motivated to become active entrepreneurs. In near future we can follow our dreams inestablishing our own businesses. Grateful thanks for the precious opportunities provided by Cambridge Innovation and Entrepreneurship Camp.
