Dangerously Ambitious = Your New Imperative

This is not a conference. This is an unforgettable gathering of pioneers with bold ideas and strong followings. We’ve replaced panel discussions with skydiving and sea kayaking. Instead of lectures, we have cutting edge workshops at Stanford’s brand new design school. Rather than networking in conference centers, we bond through high tech adventure games. And we don’t just talk about collaboration; we bring investors and philanthropists to hear presentations from the most promising social entrepreneurs.

What adventure activities are planned?

When thinking about building relationships, it’s one thing to say, “We met at a conference,” but something entirely different to explain, “We jumped out of a plane together.” Every program at Dangerously Ambitious was designed to promote collaboration. Our off-site activities include a city-wide scavenger hunt, tea ceremonies, parties, and an adventure day in which you can choose to skydive, sea kayak, or hike.

What’s with the unique programming at Dangerously Ambitious?

We know that if you want different results, you have to explore new approaches. Experience shows that great relationships come from sharing unforgettable experiences. Research has taught us that new insights - the kind that serve as catalysts to your venture - happen outside of the office. Why discuss you global expansion strategy in a conference room when you can do so on a hiking trail?

Will I be able to pitch my ideas to investors?

We are partnering with Investors Circle and Toniic to give entrepreneurs who are ready to scale their ventures the opportunity to pitch to investors.

What are the measurable results I can expect?

At Dangerously Ambitious we are committed to all attendees getting a significant return on investment. We are focused on giving you measurable results in three areas: collaboration, bigger vision, and better practices. We want you to earn funding, media attention, in-kind support, and strategic partnerships through the people you meet at the summit. We also want you to discover new ways to expand your business at our brainstorming session and through conversations. Lastly, we know you’ll walk away from our workshops with new techniques and tactics that you can implement into you venture immediately.

What will happen after Dangerously Ambitious?

We are building a community of social innovators who are committed to growing personally, scaling their ventures, forming lasting relationships and helping one another. The community will stay connected through local events and a monthly newsletter.
