Entrepreneur Bootcamp Description
The FAU Entrepreneur BootCamp is a fast-paced certificate course that helps to empower promising entrepreneurs and ambitious small business owners. It does this by teaching the tools necessary to write a successful business plan, find financial backing, and design a blueprint for success.
Through a total of 30 contact hours, the FAU Adams Center for Entrepreneurship is offering students the chance to learn why a business plan is necessary and how to write an effective business plan. In addition to this, students will learn how to pitch a plan to investors as well as what those investors expect to see in the plan. By the end of the entrepreneur bootcamp, students will be prepared to enter a business plan in the prestigious FAU Business Plan Competition and compete for seed funding.
In addition to learning how to pitch a business plan, students will discover the most effective research tools available, from using databases in researching competition to understanding demographics. From this research, they will learn how to create an impactful marketing plan and project sales revenues.
