Over the last two weeks I was thrilled to team up with Hani Azzam, Ben Maitland-Lewis, and Jesse Aranda-Comer to prototype our very first "Inception Bootcamp" #inceptionbootcamp from March 10 - 21st here in Boston.
For two weeks we had fourteen teams working together in person. They were able to learn from experts in the ecosystem, spend time with all of us 1-1, and (my favorite) help each other along the journey.
Congratulations to all of the participants on their hard work and progress: Nader Karayanni, Caspian Chaharom, James O'Connor, Katlyn Coveney, Ido Bornstein-Hacohen, Yifa Bornstein-Hacohen, Allison Kunz, Anushka Singh, Chris Madden, Bahruz Jabiyev, Steve Sprecher, Ziwen Deng, Neeraj Sangal, Jennifer Sand, Brad Pielech, Groom Dinkneh, Aditya Singh, Andrew Chang, and Akshay V..
And thank you to everyone who generously shared their time with us. The program would not have been possible without you! Travis Kirk Lowry, Ethan Bernstein, Tiffany Knearem, PhD, ☀️Raza Shaikh, Steve Walsh, William Lehmann, Bryan Healey, Scott Haylon, Sam Dunn, Petr Kaplunovich, Rene Chen, Pooja Samuel, Ethan Schechter, Amanda Parks, Ries McQuillan, Scott Bleier, Travis M. Drouin, Matt Flanagan, and Ted Weismann.
Over the coming weeks we'll also share some more of the content we developed together - but nothing beats being in a room with like-minded people 🙌
Thanks to the generosity and collaborative spirit from this first cohort, we also have a lot of improvements for the second version.
As you might be able to tell from the photo, we pushed to get this over the line in time - I'm currently eight months pregnant with our second child! Given that it'll be a little while before we repeat the experiment, but there's a link in the comments to find out when we do (Fall/Winter 2026).
