Alyssa Yancey clued me in that the University of North Texas was accepting applications for their Entrepreneurs Boot Camp. UNT’s Center for Achievement and Lifelong Learning will present this innovative program, known as the Entrepreneurs Boot Camp, in conjunction with the Murphy Center for Entrepreneurship. A team of faculty and graduate students will help participants craft their all-important business plans, and at the end of the series participants will get the opportunity to pitch their ideas to a panel of experts. The program also will offer opportunities for participants to present their plans to potential investors and business professionals.
The course will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. on Wednesdays between July 14 and August 18. The cost is $250 for UNT students and $500 for faculty members and community members. The cost is per business plan, and up to three people per business idea may attend the boot camp for one low fee. Participation is limited to 10 businesses. The application is available at http://call.unt.edu, and must be submitted by May 7 (Friday).
“The Entrepreneurs Boot Camp is an invaluable resource for individuals serious about starting a business. Participants will develop a solid foundation for their businesses, learn how to avoid the pitfalls that often befall entrepreneurs, and also create a professional network that will provide lifelong support,” said Dr. Tony Mendes, director of the Murphy Center for Entrepreneurship.
