OptionE (Option Entrepreneurship) is a 4-month entrepreneurship training program based in Madrid and Paris, and created by the Chair of Entrepreneurship at ESCP Europe.

This program helps upcoming entrepreneurs get experience with real-life entrepreneurial projects. It has both academic and practical project courses that help advance their professional career. 

This year, OptionE organized a short trip to New York City for 100 of its students. During their journey in the Big Apple, the students met with 15 inspiring entrepreneurs and had 2 vibrant parties.

The students also visited the bitLanders office where they met CEO and Founder of bitlanders & bitcharities Francesco Rulli who talked to them about his experience in business and shared some useful advice with the soon-to-be young entrepreneurs.

 

Two other entrepreneurs, Anastasia Leng, founder of Hatch.co, and David Foult, founder of Try The World, were also invited to the bitLanders office to complete the discussion. They talked about how they launched their business and how they overcame the many challenges entrepreneurs face.
