Why we chose it: Entrepreneurs rave about this two-week boot camp in the middle of summer, where they can mingle with Stanford professors and get insights into issues such as launching an IPO and how to protect intellectual property. The courses, which focus on strategic leadership, are tailored to young companies experiencing growth challenges. For those who can't get enough during the12-hour days, there are optional case-studies workshops in the evenings.
