Example Schedule
This is an example of approximately what the week can look like. The exact schedule will depend on which phase people are with their projects, which sharing sessions campers want to run and which excursions the group find the most interesting. Following are the type of activities that will happen during the week.
Planned Sessions / Mastermind The mastermind sessions are focused on helping you develop your business with the input from your peers. Also, I will be running sessions at the beginning of the week for goal setting, daily short updates and end-of-week session. I can also do other sessions/workshops depending on what people are interested in, examples include lean business canvas, minimum viable testing, How to measure product-market-fit.
Sharing Sessions These are sessions run on a voluntary basis by campers within an area they have knowledge. Examples could include short form video for marketing or AI for business automation.
Food Food will be cooked for everyone two times a day, a proper dinner and a simple lunch. Breakfast is also included but is self-serve.
Excursions Depending on interest and weather we will go out on excursions, examples include wine tasting, surfing, sightseeing or hiking.
Independent work The rest of the time is spent working on your business and maybe take a break every once in a while to hang out by the pool.
Mastermind Group
At Entrepreneur Camp you will be among a group of other entrepreneurs. Being part of a mastermind group of peers can be valuable as it provides accountability, feedback, networking opportunities, skill-building, and support. The week is designed to facilitate these connections and support.
Accountability: When you're part of a mastermind group, you're not just accountable to yourself, but to the other members of the group as well. This can be a powerful motivator to take action and follow through on your commitments.
Feedback: Running a business can be lonely, and it can be hard to know if you're on the right track. A mastermind group provides a safe space where you can get honest feedback from your peers, who understand the challenges you're facing and can offer valuable insights and suggestions.
Networking: Your mastermind group is made up of other entrepreneurs, who may have connections or resources that can help you grow your business. By building relationships with these individuals, you can expand your network and create new opportunities for collaboration and growth.
Skill-building: Each member of your mastermind group brings unique skills and experiences to the table. By learning from one another, you can improve your own skills and knowledge, which can have a positive impact on your business.
Support: Entrepreneurship can be stressful and overwhelming at times. Having a group of peers who understand what you're going through and can offer support and encouragement can make a big difference in your mental and emotional well-being.

Beliefs
Validation and quick iterations Creating something uniquely yours is powerful. It’s fulfilling and a great way to express emotion, ideas or just enjoy life. Put something new into the world that would not have existed if not for you.
Entrepreneurship is for Everyone Everyone can become an entrepreneur, it just takes the willingness to learn, grow and execute. But most importantly, getting started!
Community It’s helpful to be surrounded by other creative people for motivation, feedback and good times. A bit of social accountability can go a long way for motivation.
Finish Something Getting something completed and out into the world is more important than endless planning and hypothesizing.
Expand Viewpoint Business idea generation is done best with a mix of focused work, letting the mind wander and incorporating other’s opinions and ideas.
Previous Camps
The first camps was run during May 2023 in Portugal. We had a great time and everyone took steps to grow their business or validate a new business idea. Businesses worked on was mainly digital, ranged from todo-app, to ai-image generator, to video editor plugins, to healthcare and marketing applications.
Other Camps
In addition to Entrepreneur Camp I also run Creative Camp, which is similar in spirit but focused on creative pursuits. More info creativecamp.cc. I will run the next Creative Camp the week after Entrepreneur Camp.
Creative Camp
Background
I’m Markus, the founder of Entrepreneur Camp and Creative Camp. I’m a Swede with a passion for different entrepreneurial pursuits. I run an Investing app, do data science consulting, run Creative Camp and am currently building a software tool to speed up the creation of high fidelity illustrations using AI. I have been through multiple startup/business programs and incubators and have always enjoyed working around other entrepreneurs for motivation, inspiration and feedback. I started Entrepreneur Camp to get those things but in a nice environment that takes us out of our regular context for inspiration and new ideas while progressing towards our goals.
