Inspiring Entrepreneurs and Leaders!
The Startup Summer Camp team has years of experience teaching, mentoring student entrepreneurs, running startup events and leading youth and adult international tours.
Our team’s experience facilitating startup events, like innovation days and Startup Weekends and international athletic and innovation tours prompted us to combine our two passions and create our current summer camp programs that focus on startups, entrepreneurship and leadership for both youth and adults.
Our Beginnings
Startup Summer Camp was founded and is led by Kyle Ashby, who also founded and owns Travel in Company LLC, the parent company of Startup Summer Camp, as well as THE SANDBOX Santa Barbara (a coworking and shared space in Santa Barbara California), and Startup Santa Barbara or StartupSB.
All three companies partner with Startup Summer Camp.
