Our Mission
Five Days. Ten Speakers. Ten Skills.
July 19th - July 23rd 2021
The past year has been one of constant adaptation, re-imagining and virtual accommodation. Through all of this we have changed our expectations of education and work. Unfortunately, internship programs have been dropped by organizations across the city during this time leaving thousands without an opportunity for professional, personal and network growth.
​
The Philly Startup Sprint is a non-profit that aims to help replace the lost opportunity for across the Greater Philadelphia Area by providing a free 5 day, rapid learning & exposure program. During the course of these 10 days we will be providing focused training, group learning and the opportunity to meet and connect with experienced leaders from Philadelphia startups and established professionals. During the course of the program up to $1000 will be awarded to participants excelling in various integrated educational competitions.
