The recent Nomad Excel Bootcamp in Bansko, Bulgaria has proven to be a significant milestone in entrepreneurial education for the local ecosystem. Held in May, the program brought together a diverse group of participants, including serial entrepreneurs, CTOs, travel bloggers, recruitment agency professionals, and aspiring business owners from all around the world.
Participants shared:
“I started my own brand, my own business.”
“Now I have a very clear vision and mission.”
“I feel like I can actually do this..”
“It made me a lot more confident in my abilities.”
“I met many fellow entrepreneurs with a similar mindset.”
The Bansko bootcamp’s success stemmed from its focus on practical learning, personal guidance, and mentorship. Participants engaged in developing and scaling their business ideas through hands-on experiences tailored to their individual needs.
“I learned a lot about marketing, ideation, and more. One side effect is the improved relationship with my business partner. This is a great tool I now have in my arsenal,” shared Alex Kaganovich, CTO at Starry Tales.
Another key outcome of the Bansko event was the formation of the Nomad Excel Alumni community. This network continues to thrive beyond the bootcamp, creating a space where entrepreneurs support, inspire, and empower each other. The connections and partnerships formed during the program are expected to have lasting impacts on participants’ entrepreneurial journeys.
