Focused, intense, and packed with useful material, Entrepreneurs Bootcamp is tailored to aspiring entrepreneurs in the Syracuse area, helping them answer the following questions:

• What is a good business concept?
• How can I determine if my business idea is a good one?
• Do I really need a business plan and, if so, how can I write a great one?
• What do I need to know about my customer and market, and how can I get answers?
• Where do I get financing?
• How do I make sense of the numbers, and which numbers really matter?
• What is a business model, and does my business model make sense?
• What is guerrilla marketing? Are there ways to do more with marketing while spending less?
• What does it really take to succeed in business by myself?
• Where do I go to get the information I need to organize my new business?

A team of experienced faculty and successful entrepreneurs works with participants, introducing ideas and concepts, and showing how to apply them to a current or potential business. A number of guest entrepreneurs share their experiences, challenges, successes, and advice throughout the course of the program. Each participant receives an SU certificate upon completion.

“The Bootcamp was exactly what I needed at the right time; the program spoke to me as a new entrepreneur just as it spoke to the seasoned entrepreneur sitting next to me. I came away from every session with invigorating emotions of pride, impatience, enthusiasm, and excitement and they still linger with me today. At each session I learned that running a business was not a science but an art; everything from accounting, to legal knowledge, Internet acumen, financing, to marketing has to work together for my business foundation. Now I have started my own business with skills I could not have gotten anywhere other than the Syracuse Entrepreneurs Bootcamp!”
