All,
I hope this email finds you well. I recently connected with the UPenn 3DS planning committee, and thought I would reach out to the rest of you. I think your students might be interested, after completing your weekend company-building exercise, in taking their experience global.
Sage Corps offers small groups of top college students a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in company-building and network-building on a global scale. Currently, we are accepting applications for our winter programming, set to begin in January. To that end, I'm attaching our 2015 brochure along with further information below. Please feel free to share with any other students who you think might be interested.
Best,
Matt
**********************
Sage Corps is an elite experiential
learning program that sends top American university students to work with
entrepreneurs at foreign tech startups for 8-12 weeks. All startups are
affiliated with a local business accelerator/co-working space, with whom Sage
Corps partners. This summer, Sage Corps sent 23 students to startups
located in Hong Kong and Buenos Aires. For 2015, Sage Corps will launch
additional programs in Brazil, Colombia, Ireland, and Singapore. Our students
attend some of the top American universities: Northwestern, U. Chicago,
Harvard, Dartmouth, Penn (Wharton), Columbia, Tufts, U. of Michigan (Ross),
Georgetown, and Swarthmore. Students made incredible contributions to
their companies, whether it was personally raising $500,000 USD for a seed
round or developing a new, revenue-generating product for a startup.
In addition to the internship experience,
students also attend tech conferences, networking events, investor pitches/demo
days, and a speaker series held at multinational corporations. Finally, each
student connects with a Sage --
a successful business leader in the United States who provides career advice
and potential job contacts/opportunities.
