An interesting idea ... I hope they pack lots of dramamine and sea-bands since not everyone is designed to spend 100 days at sea.

To me, the exposure of 600 college students to 14 different countries' cultures could make the voyage worthwhile even if none of the 10 start-ups succeeds.

I love the "Proud to be based in Colorado" badge at the bottom of the page. It's perfectly unreasonable to do this from a state that has no access to the sea ;)

I think this idea is brilliant - putting entrepreneurs in the same confined space for months at a time, and stopping in countries where they can see first hand how to design their products differently and scale the in international markets. Being on the ground matters.

I'm lucky enough be on the staff for this first voyage.
