Congratulations. You just graduated from college and you passed Facebook/Google's grueling interview process. Their job offer feels really high -- you can't believe anyone is willing to give you more than $100K/year after all these years eating ramen and cheap pizza in college. Of course you should take it. Or should you?
Thank you all for another awesome Startup Conference. See you again in 2019!

I am so GLAD I went! I had a great day learning so much from aspiring people!
I pitched to one of the VCs during the VC office hours and his feedback was an invaluable tool for me. Will most definitely attend it again.

We are proud at the Startup Conference to host entrepreneurs from more than 40 countries each year. But for the 9th edition, in 2018, we are noticing a disturbing trend. The number of entrepreneurs who told us they were not able to get a visa and therefore won't be able to attend, seems to have exploded.
Last week Dropbox went public and Drew Houston, its CEO joined a very small club of entrepreneurs that took their startup from idea to IPO.
