This trek was a unique experience for me, mainly due to three reasons. Firstly, I was able to visit leading tech companies and to witness not only the unique cultures and people, but I could also discuss relevant technology topics with impressive personalities (e.g., Google CFO). Secondly, I gained several local contacts that will be able to leverage in the future in case I decide to start a business or to move to the Bay Area. Thirdly, Last but not least, the trek members were a unique, hand-picked set of LBS students and spending time together in this unique environment truly sparked our inspiration and ambition.

I am currently talking to Google and Zynga about my 2^nd year LBS project, which would not have been possible without the trek, and I was able to meet "legendary" venture capital investors who enlightened me regarding the startup fundraising in the Silicon Valley.
