Gran Canaria, part of Spain’s Canary Islands, offered an ideal location for the Nomad Excel Bootcamp, blending natural beauty with a dynamic business environment. With its stunning beaches, diverse landscapes, and vibrant culture, Gran Canaria provided an inspiring backdrop for creative thinking and innovation.
The Bootcamp was an unforgettable two-week experience filled with learning, collaboration, and personal growth. Entrepreneurs from around the globe came together in the stunning surroundings of Agaete to refine their business ideas, develop essential skills, and create lasting memories.
The first week was all about setting the tone. Morning yoga and beach swims energized our days, while expert-led sessions dove into the fundamentals of entrepreneurship. We explored topics like business models, customer experience, and storytelling, complemented by one-on-one mentoring sessions.
Evenings brought a mix of group dinners on the rooftop, hikes, and relaxing at natural pools. The connections quickly grew as we shared meals, laughs, and ideas.
The second week was more intense as we approached project deadlines. With mornings starting bright and early with workouts or meditation, the days were packed with advanced sessions, project collaboration, and personal development.
The mentorship provided invaluable guidance, and the energy was high with creative activities like beach cleanups, island tours, and group cooking sessions. Even with tight schedules, we found time to connect through shared experiences like the breathtaking boat trip and our rooftop BBQ.
