Draper University

"Draper University was a game changer for my son! Tim Draper and his staff are accessible, they give guidance, introductions to investors and help polish your pitch. The pitch that is strictly graded on what you are doing wrong, is what prepared my son for what would become his first investment. It forced him to research an answer and he was prepared when he was asked the following day by one of the biggest angel investors in the world. Bottom line, if you feel you have a good idea and want to get it in front of the right people, I highly reccomend Draper University. Thanks Tim and staff!"

"September 16th 2018. The day my life changed. Two months prior to this my life was comprised of caddying in the morning and afternoon and driving Door Dash until midnight. Every single day. 16-20 hour days. I threw my whole life into having the opportunity to head to Silicon Valley at 19 to explore my entrepreneurial dreams. And I never looked back. I attended Draper University’s Fall 2018 Hero Training program and everything changed. I have been able to achieve, participate in, and do things out here that wouldn’t be possible anywhere else in the world. It has been the most incredible experience I have ever been a part of. The relationships I’ve made, the things I learned, and the experiences I had are unforgettable and life changing. I took a risk and made it happen. If you are interested in hearing more about my experience, have any questions, or would like to connect feel free to reach out. Be phenomenal!"

"DU changed my life - from aspiring, wide-eyed thinker to active, get-stuff-done entrepreneur. This school is not your normal by-the-books, study-late-for-exams institution - and rightfully so. After decades of learning to get straight A's and never make a mistake, DU helped me understand a few things about business (and life): - That it's ok to fail and try again. - Taking the unconventional route is often faster and more fun. - You'll never have all of the answers. Embrace uncertainty. I went to a 4-year college, and I loved every bit of it. I was in clubs, fraternities, bands, studied abroad, etc. So why did I need further education? Well there's one thing that I doubt any 4-year institution will teach, but DU does: to think different and to think big. I come from a sleepy neighborhood in suburbia California, and now I'm traveling the world for my business. DU might not be for everybody, but I guarantee you that it will drown you in new ways of thinking and teach you how to walk on water."

"Outstanding concept, location and resources. A great place for intense focused learning in an environment that is all about possibility and some pragmatic strategies. It pushes the envelope of human potential in the wild world of Start-ups. I am impressed by the energy, the resources and the environment as well as the other students attending and participating so robustly."
