A way to actually FEEL entrepreneurship in action
-
Lectures, case studies, discussions… Sometimes it is simply not that exciting to analyze stories of other people’s situations.
With a passion for entrepreneurship, students want to play with their own ideas and play out their own stories.
SimBus is here to offer a playground for student entrepreneurs to learn in actions.
-
There is no “pause” button in reality, and the nature of early-stage startup is to resolve situations as they happen.
Hence in SimBus workshops, everything happens dynamically - there’s no decision rounds, only ongoing business operations for participants.
-
Founders talk to all kinds of people to get things done - engineers, customers, partners - a skills that are deeply rooted in founders’ personalities.
SimBus encourage participants to interact in-person, so that they can sharpen their interpersonal skills with style, while getting feedback simultaneously.

Every company is somewhere along a value chain.
SimBus workshop has Material Collector, Manufacturer, and Distributor as fundamental business types for participants, so that they will gain a holistic understanding of the value chain, along with key topics in Economics, Supply Chain, Marketing, etc.
