I loved meeting new people and learning so many new and exciting things. After Quarter Zero I have found my "why" and am hoping to now launch a non profit to help kids in inner city Detroit learn dance so they have a creative outlet. Without the inspiration, experience, and motivation I gained from Quarter Zero I would not have been able to achieve any of this!

Reasons to go to Quarter Zero
I had a great experience at Quarter Zero. It has a unique feel, being a startup, that is entirely different from any other kind of camp I have ever attended. We interacted with the company founder himself on a daily basis.
The environment was great and I felt like I really connected with the other students who attended. As a cohort we drew close together faster than I have ever experienced before, and I met some incredibly interesting people. We learned very actionable information in a very effective way, and I can truthfully say that what we learned fundamentally changed the way I think about solving problems.
One of my favorite parts of the camp was the guest speakers. These people, in a word, were legit. Millionaire serial entrepreneurs, a world renowned musician, a coffee virtuoso, and more. Getting to meet and talk to these people was one of my favorite parts of the camp.
The activities we did outside of the camp (surfing, high ropes course, rock climbing, etc) were pretty much what you would expect - they weren't really anything special. The real value of this camp is in the learning experience and in the people you meet.
This camp is not just useful for prospective businesspeople or entrepreneurs, it is useful to anyone who plans to work in a creative field and add value to the world.

Quarter 0
It was a wonderful time experiencing quarter 0. I had a great time meeting new people and learning new things about business and entrepreneurship. I think you did very well getting everybody to feel at home. The cultural pillars made that very easy. It was like those of family. I would recommend this to any of my friends. Keep up the good work Q0 team.

5 stars !
Though there were some confusions about the schedule and our lesson plan at times, Quarter Zero was such an enriching and empowering experience for me. I learned a great deal about how to start a business, got to interact with real entrepreneurs, and met so many different people. The CTMS and camp members were all pretty friendly and the experience was great !

Hello and thanks for sharing your experience! It's encouraging to hear you felt empowered and found our summer experience so enriching. That's our goal! And thanks for your specific feedback about the schedule. The goal with our iterative schedule gives us the flexibility to adapt to the needs and opportunities of the cohort of students, but totally understand how the shifting schedule at times caused confusion. We'll do a better job with communicating schedule changes next year. Onward! Josh (Founder of QØ)

It was an amazing experience
It was an amazing experience. We had a lot to learn. It would have been even more amazing if the camp was 8-10 days so we actually work on a start-up but I guess they already have the incubator for that.

Yes!!! Having 3-5 more days at the 5-day QØ Startup Camp would have been amazing! We'll have to add an option for that next year! Thanks for the feedback and for taking the time to make a review. I'm glad you found the experience so rewarding. Onward! Josh (Founder of QØ)

Take my word for it...QUARTER ZERO IS AMAZING
I went to the Quarter Zero one week startup camp in Santa Barbra last week and I would honestly say that it was amazing! Going into it, I did not know what kind of opportunities were awaiting for me there. However, I do love surprises. I extremely enjoyed the experience at quarter zero because they truly spend their time focusing on the topic of starting up a business. My favorite part of the camp was being able to hear business men and women talk about their life and business experience which was a big encouragement and learning experience for me.

Haidee! I'm glad you liked the QØ Fireside Chats with the local entrepreneurs and thought it was special to personally engage with them in a small group setting where you could ask questions directly. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave the review! I can't wait to stay in touch and support you with what's next as a QØ alumnus. Onward! Josh (Founder of QØ)
