Draper University is redefining higher education by equipping entrepreneurial-minded students with an immersive experience to learn, connect, and grow in the working world.

Our entrepreneurship program serves as a supplement to traditional college education. We provide an immersive experience to help entrepreneurs grow their network in Silicon Valley, among peers, mentors, and investors. Our programs are jam-packed with founder stories from the Valley’s most accomplished entrepreneurs, workshops on public speaking and building a personal brand, pitching to prestigious investors, on-site visits to Silicon Valley giants, and meetings with tech company recruiters.

Our alumni are doing amazing things: $51M+ raised, joining accelerators like Techstars and YCombinator, and raising funding by investors like Marc Benioff, Marc Andreessen, and Tim Draper.

Draper University was founded by Tim Draper, 3rd generation Silicon Valley VC. Why? Because the world needs more heroes.
