If you think you’re ready for the challenge of Leangap — and you’re eager to prove yourself to college admissions clerks or internship program managers in real-world conditions — then we invite you to apply for one of our summer programs.

Leangap helped us create a product and sell to paying customers. It felt like a real startup incubator, not just a high school summer program.

What our students say:

"I was concerned about a ‘virtual’ summer program, but Leangap Online was extremely rigorous and real. It transformed me into a resilient leader. I was super productive at home, working with teammates from three countries."

"I was between Leangap and Babson Summer Study. I went with Leangap because they promised me real-world results. On the day we made our first sale, Leangap delivered on its promise."

I attended Leangap over the summer. I had to say that I was not expecting to learn that much. The mentors, especially Sadok, and Jasmine, were some of the most helpful people I had encountered. I can now go back home resting easily knowing that I know the basic fundamentals of a startup.

Leangap gave me one of the best summer ever. Sort Off !!! For a long time, I was so obsessed with dropping out and doing something real. I was really excited about the whole thing. Leangap is a worthy investment in a lot of ways To me, Leangap remains one of the best programs I have ever got to know about. All the mentors are super chill and they get professional when they are required to be. The mentors and their interest to help teams are the key component to Leangap. Just never hesitate to seek help from them as they take these issues professionally to solve them effectively. If you feel like you're in the wrong team or you're not being heard, talk to a mentor and they will definitely help you resolve the problem without any consequences with anyone. Passion, Skills, Uniqueness and your ability to make an Impact. These are the four main things that are considered for your admission process to Leangap. I wouldn’t say this is 100% true in reality, but most of the people whom you’ll meet at Leangap are dope. The one thing I would really push Leangap to improve on is the admission process. I have noticed some of the mates were taking Leangap as a School project while others just work really hard on their startups. This problem, I think affects teams as a whole. Leangap is overall an amazing experience. It's not just learning all day. To complete prove this; Leangap had a surprise for us after our Final Pitch, which was a cruise in the “San Francisco Bay” followed by a pizza party. We also had a Camp Fire at “Ocean Beach” which was pretty fun. The last thing is the curriculum. It moves fast AF. But if you make some right unbiased decision and work seriously on them, you’ll definitely have a real company within 4 weeks.

4 weeks of entrepreneurship was the best decision I ever made for my summer. At Leangap, I helped start a company and made many friends. I would definitely recommend others try it.
