“It was a fantastic trip! I met a lot of very interesting people in San Francisco and use several tools and techniques including elevator pitches and Design Thinking that I learned while attending the Silicon Valley Immersion Program at work on a daily basis.

After coming back to Innsbruck I changed my business and ended up as a consultant for strategy, communication, and innovation.”

“I gained new knowledge, insights and techniques during the Silicon Valley Immersion On Location week. Using the techniques I learned I prepared a 10 second long elevator pitch for a very specific client of mine. Then, prepared a one-pager brief.

The client asked me for a 20 minute meeting. That meeting turned out to be a more than one hour. Then, we finished with a solid agreement. This was a great success due to collabora-tive final client development through a networked support organization.”
