Extremely valuable experience -- very glad I did it

I'd been studying for an MBA after a previous career in finance, and I was looking to go abroad and get some startup experience. Start Me Up looked completely different to anything else I'd come across so I decided to go for it.

Traveling to Bali from the US is a fairly big change of scenery, but getting to have that experience with others as part of a cohort was a great experience. Alongside getting to sample Bali's culture, I got to visit and work from several of the island's top-rated co-working spaces. I met, worked alongside, and learned from many uniquely talented business professionals from all over the world. Start Me Up held workshops in areas like UX, and I attended others on topics ranging from marketing to business development. It was hands-on and completely different to the way many of these subjects are taught at school. I learned a lot in a very short space of time, and I am 100% satisfied by the experience. I highly recommend it.
