Do you have an idea for a new venture but haven’t quite taken the first steps? Or know you have what it takes to succeed but are still searching for your winning idea? Bootcamp is SIE’s summer programme for a fast-track route to starting a new venture. It gives you the unique opportunity to turn your idea into a profitable business or social enterprise within a much shorter space of time than normal.
When launching a new business or social enterprise, experience is one of the best teachers. As an intensive, residential training programme Bootcamp 10 condenses what would normally take 6 months into 5 days, accelerating your learning and putting you on the fast-track to start-up success. This year, SIE will be hosting two Bootcamp sessions, allowing more students than ever to gain from this unique experience!
The programme is specifically designed for students who might have an idea but aren’t sure how to go about starting up, or haven’t yet got an idea but know they want to start their own venture.
In Bootcamp 10 you will:
- Build a solid foundation for your venture with idea generation and opportunity recognition.
- Cover all the essentials including: market research, sales & PR, finance, funding and pitching.
- Become fully prepared to grow your venture beyond Bootcamp 10.
- Develop a strong network of like-minded students and leading entrepreneurs in the Scottish business community
APPLICATIONS FOR BOOTCAMP 10 ARE NOW CLOSED
