**Build something real.** An 8-week building experience for the next generation of 2056 Club — designed for 15–18-year-olds ready to turn ideas into action. Over eight weeks, Fellows will form teams, find a problem worth solving, speak to real users, and build a working prototype using modern AI tools. They won't do it alone. Each week brings access to founders, investors, builders and mentors from within the 2056 community — people who can challenge their thinking, share what they have learned, and help them move from idea to execution. **No coding experience required. No startup idea required. Curiosity is.** **30% of all participation fees form the final prize pot.** The winning team receives the funding to take their project beyond Demo Day — to develop the product further, test it with more users, launch it, or take the next meaningful step.
We understand that the current situation in the region may raise questions for some attendees. The safety and wellbeing of our speakers, partners, and attendees remains our highest priority.

We are closely monitoring developments and remain in ongoing dialogue with relevant local partners. At this time, the VNTR Dubai Investor Forum is planned to proceed as scheduled, and preparations continue as normal.

We encourage participants to review official travel guidance from their respective governments and make decisions based on their own circumstances. Should anything change, we will communicate updates promptly.

Agenda

Build something real.

An 8-week building experience for the next generation of 2056 Club — designed for 15–18-year-olds ready to turn ideas into action.

Over eight weeks, Fellows will form teams, find a problem worth solving, speak to real users, and build a working prototype using modern AI tools.

They won't do it alone.

Each week brings access to founders, investors, builders and mentors from within the 2056 community — people who can challenge their thinking, share what they have learned, and help them move from idea to execution.

No coding experience required. No startup idea required. Curiosity is.

What Fellows will experience

From the first idea to the final presentation, the Bootcamp follows a simple principle: learn by building.

The Journey

14 September — Week 0: Online Briefing
An online introduction to the Bootcamp to explore the program, understand the journey and ask questions.

21 September — Kickoff & Team Formation
Meet the cohort, explore interests and problems worth solving, and form teams.

28 September — Idea → Problem
Choose what to work on and meet the mentors who will help guide the projects.

5 October — Validate the Idea
Speak to users, research the market and decide what is actually worth building.

12 October — Build with AI
Turn ideas into the first working prototypes using AI and modern building tools.

19 October — MVP & Testing
Put the first version in front of people, gather feedback and improve.

26 October — Product → Story
Develop the product, its business or impact model, and the story behind it.

2 November — Demo & Pitch Preparation
Finalise the product and prepare to present it with clarity and confidence.

9 November — 2056 Club House Demo Day
Teams present their projects to Club members, mentors and judges. Finalists are selected.

10 November — Global Investor Summit
Selected finalists take the stage at the VNTR Global Investor Summit, where the winning project is announced.

Every Fellow finishes the Bootcamp with something tangible: a project, a portfolio, a team experience and a story they can call their own.

But the longer-term ambition goes further. Graduates become part of the 2056 NextGen community — connecting a generation that may study, build, invest and create alongside one another for decades to come.

Because some of the most valuable relationships they build today will still matter in 2056.

What our community says

Gillian Muessig
Managing Director at Masters Fund
VNTR is, hands down, the most effective and productive investor network for fund managers. Only VNTR has provided such bespoke, hands-on, deeply engaged support during our capital raise.
Alexander Filatov
CEO at EverX
VNTR’s dedication to efficiency and productivity is truly remarkable, as they consistently deliver a multitude of investor events around the world. I appreciate experimentation with different formats of networking, matching, socialising etc.
Alex Kazmarck
Founder at BEAR Ventures
Thank you VNTR for the wonderful event and gathering such knowledge in one room. This is the reason I joined VNTR after my first Roundtable in Singapore last year.
