Lightspeed announces a training program for extreme entrepreneur 2019 finalists

The second edition of the startup training module, Extreme Entrepreneurs is back in 2019 (EE2019), thanks to Lightspeed India.

Ten startups will get the chance to meet the top honchos of the global startup industry and learn their best practices.

The Extreme Entrepreneurs program will be held in three sessions. It is scheduled to be held between 3rd September and 8th October in Delhi.

The program will be live on Tuesdays (Testy Tuesdays) where the mornings will include a masterclass by a top CEO.

The afternoon will see the participation of specific startups, in an interactive session with a Lightspeed Partner. The evening will be a mix of cocktails and fun to usher the startups into the startup community.

Vaibhav Agarwal, a Lightspeed Partner said, “For a curious mind, exposure is like a bomb. A founder can find his mind opening up to possibilities in ways not imaginable.”

On EE2019, he quipped, “All the partners at Lightspeed were beginners in the startup ecosystem initially. In fact, I started as a doctor fixing bodies before moving on to start my first business. Then some people guided us, inspired us to dream big and showed the way. EE is us paying it back.”

EE2019 will have leaders such as Sriharsha Majety (Swiggy Co-founder), Vaibhav Gupta (Udaan Co-founder), Ankush Sachdeva (Sharechat Co-founder), Merci Victoria Grace (Slack, Growth & Product), Ritesh Agarwal (Oyo Rooms Founder) and Dheeraj Pandey (Nutanix Co-founder).
