We are proud to announce the final companies (Skywalkers) selected to participate in our inaugural three-month cycle beginning on August 1, 2011 at the new CoCo Minneapolis location. Of the final companies selected, five are from Minnesota and one is from New York.

“It goes without saying that it was difficult to select our final companies from the 25 that participated in our recent Bootcamp Weekend,” said Cem Erdem, Founder of Project Skyway. “We were so thoroughly impressed by the passion and drive all our campers demonstrated throughout the weekend. However, I am confident the final companies we selected represent the values and principles we outlined when we started Project Skyway last October.”

Please check out this video from Project Skyway to hear further details about our first group of Skywalkers:
