30 Weeks Bootcamp Review

30 Weeks is a 15-week program that includes a network of business-minded innovators, workshops and mentorship by startup founders, lessons in marketing a product, and resources for understanding how to produce a prototype. The 40-hour per week course focuses on workshops, tech talks, sales skills, and breakout sessions. The sole focus of the program is to equip a designer with the resources and skills necessary to turn a unique concept into a product or a business.
After the first 15-week course is complete, designers are able to apply for an additional 15-week program that provides students with an area in which to co-work and guidance by startup mavens. 30 Weeks is currently offered once a year. The $5,000 tuition is due one month preceding the beginning of the course. 30 Weeks does not provide financing, scholarship opportunities, or any tuition guarantees. However, the program encourages its students to pursue creative sources of funding, such as utilizing crowdsourcing websites.
