You know where 
you’re headed. Meet us on campus.

To ensure the well-being and safety of our students, we conduct regular head counts and check-ins throughout the day. These check-ins occur regardless of whether a mentor is present with the students at the time. Additionally, we conduct a final check-in each night to account for all students. Students are required to report to a designated staff member who will diligently track their presence.

We consider it crucial to keep parents informed about any significant activities or experiences involving their child. This includes instances of misconduct, unavailability of the student, or any sickness and injuries sustained by the student.

Ensuring the accountability and progress of our students is a top priority for us. Therefore, we have implemented a comprehensive attendance system that includes diligent check-ins upon departure and arrival between any two travel points, whether in-campus or off-campus. Additionally, we are committed to providing regular updates on the students' activities, accomplishments, and progress. These updates will be conveniently shared through our official social media platform, Instagram. We encourage you to follow our Instagram account @leangap to stay updated on our program and the achievements of our students.

Meals will be provided by a catering company and will be served near the facilities where our students will be situated during that part of the day.

We stay in student housing located a few blocks from our chosen campus. The housing complex is primarily used by college students during the academic year. By staying here, our students are fully immersed in the college environment while attending Leangap.

Breakfast is available between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM in the dining area and our daily program activities start promptly at 9:30 am. Our students generally have a morning lecture with some days having a guest speaker or lecturer. That is usually followed by an hour for the students to apply what they've learned to their own product, which they will be working on throughout the duration of the program.

Lunch is served from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM in the campus. The time after lunch is unscheduled so that students can work on their different products (sometimes students require equipment in different buildings or set up meetings with customers). In the evenings and on weekends, we like to plan some team bonding activities or take the students off campus to explore the bay area.

Please note that while these items are representative of our offerings, actual meals may be subject to change. We take common allergens into consideration, such as all kinds of nuts, gluten and lactose. Please reach out if you have any specific restrictions.

The availability of a laundry facility within the dormitory may vary each year, depending on the specific facilities provided. We kindly request that you reach out to us via email to inquire about the availability of a laundromat for the upcoming program.

Students in the San Francisco program typically share dorm rooms with one or two other students. This setup promotes companionship and offers a supportive atmosphere.

Dormitories on campus all require an issued ID or passcode to enter the building and there is a security staff on duty 24/7. Any visiting guests (parents or friends not part of the program) are required to register at the front desk with proof of identification and are not allowed to stay past 8pm.

In addition to the building security, our staff also live in the dorms with the students. Our staff are assigned to small groups of 4 or 5 students to mentor and supervise. Any small group trips off campus to a restaurant, store, or college visit are always supervised by at least one staff member and formal program trips are supervised by all staff. The staff is personally available to the students every night to check them in for the day and enforce curfew.

Our staff are there not only to provide supervision and technical insight to startups, but also to provide emotional and interpersonal support. In the past, we have found that the students will often come to rely on more than one staff member for different kinds of advice and will often include our staff in their activities as peers. These close relationships that our staff develop with the students have always helped us gain a better sense of the well-being and safety of our students.

The Head of Staff is always available to both students and parents to speak about any concerns that may arise during the program. All students and parents will be given the Head of Staff's contact information at the start of the program.

We require all students in our summer program to live on-premises regardless of whether they reside locally or not. While we understand the desire of local students to commute, we have seen the tremendous benefits, both professional and personal, in having all students immersed in the on-campus entrepreneurial environment we have cultivated. From group collab sessions, to networking events, to social activities, our holistic approach depends on students working and living closely together to make industry connections, learn from each other’s experiences, and develop strong bonds.

For these reasons, we include shared accommodations, meals, and transportation in the comprehensive program fee for all students rather than offer a commuter discount.

We have vegetarian and gluten-free options available. No meals containing pork will be served. We ask our students to notify us of any dietary restrictions they may have prior to the program's start date. A student can choose not to eat a meal for varied reasons. Unused meals are non-transferable.

Yes, parents and guests are welcome to visit students as long as they check in with our staff and depart by 8pm. Family members can also take students off campus during the weekends.

The arrival day for the program in San Francisco is the day before the program officially begins, specifically the Sunday prior to the first Monday. We request that students book their flights during reasonable arrival times, which is between 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM, so that our staff can be available to pick them up from the airport.

Similarly, the departure day is one day after the program officially ends, which is the immediate Saturday after the last Friday. Our staff will provide transportation to the airport, and we kindly ask that students schedule their departure flights during reasonable times for our staff.
