Nebula's Startup Journey

Nebula Youth Camps (previously known as Shooting Stars Entrepreneurship Programs) was founded by Vaarun Ramanathan in the summer of 2018. Vaarun identified that most of the entrepreneurship programs currently being run were by universities for an extremely high fee and most of the content being taught could be found on the internet since they were just professors sharing theoretical knowledge. Vaarun realized there was an opportunity to create an entrepreneurship program in local communities, with REAL entrepreneurs and industry leaders who were able to share their life experiences and mentor students in developing their business. Nebula programs are also unique in providing participants with the opportunity to visit real startups and corporations (Google, Tesla, Netflix) to understand their work culture and the applicability of the theoretical lessons they learn.
