will visit each day to work with
the campers and help these teams.
Each week will culminate in a pitch
day resembling the format of the
Shark Tank reality television show.
Entrepreneurs, angel investors and
venture capitalists from Boulder
and Denver will be on hand to field
pitches from the campers.
There are two pitch days in each
session — the first will allow the
campers to validate their idea and
receive feedback from real-life
entrepreneurs and investors, while
on the second pitch day, they can
win prizes or seed money for their
startup. Campers' startups can be a
service or a product and could even
be a nonprofit organization.
Three days of the week the
campers spend their days on camp
property with a healthy mix of rec-
reational activities, cabin time and
startup planning time. Two days a
week they will board buses to go
on experiential tours to local com-
panies in the Boulder area where
they will meet with entrepreneurs
or survey individuals and receive
feedback about their products.
The camp, part of a new camp
incubator through New York-based
Foundation for Jewish Camp, also
gives campers a taste of Jewish
life. There is a full Shabbat experi-
ence in which campers leave their
startup work behind and celebrate
the value of community and family.
The camp leadership sees this as
an opportunity to unplug and teach
work-life balance in an entrepre-
neur's life.
Since Camp Inc. is located in
Boulder, it plans to draw heavily
from the local Denver and Boulder
Jewish communities, but Brad will
be joined by campers from Florida,
New York, New Jersey, Texas,
California, Illinois and Arizona as
well.
While Brad Simtob has already
launched his first startup, he's not
heading to Boulder this summer
looking to fund FlippingGames.
corn. He says he just wants to be
part of the group and learn how to
grow a business ... and make some
new friends.
"Camp Inc. sounds so great I
want to go work there as a coun-
selor:' Richard Simtob said. ❑
