About the Program

Building from key elements of Oklahoma State University's award-winning entrepreneurship curriculum, the Entrepreneurs Inspire Bootcamp is a series of modules designed to assist entrepreneurs and aspiring entrepreneurs in growing businesses successfully and profitably.

This new and revised four-week program features more interaction with guest entrepreneurs and workshop sessions with industry experts for an improved hands-on experience on how to apply the lessons learned to a new start-up.

Why is it called a bootcamp?

As with the general concept of a bootcamp, the program is intense, focused and hands-on. We cover significant territory, with a focus on applying concepts and ideas to the ventures being started by those in attendance. Delegates are encouraged to bring their ideas, passion, enthusiasm and questions.

Building on the leading edge entrepreneurship curriculum at Oklahoma State University, the Bootcamp concentrates on the key tools, perspectives, and approaches that go into creating a viable business. Sample topics covered over the four weeks of the program include:

  *   Why it is important to approach venture creation as a process
  *   The different types of ventures one can create
  *   How to discover entrepreneurial opportunity
  *   What makes for a great business concept and a cool business model
  *   The real role a business plan plays and why you need to write it yourself
  *   What you really need to know about bookkeeping and accounting, and how to use the numbers to make smarter decisions
  *   How entrepreneurial finance works---figuring out what you need and how to get it
  *   The critical importance of leveraging resources and how this can be done
  *   What it means to think and act like a 'guerrilla' when it comes to marketing
  *   How to think about, mitigate and manage risk
  *   What role the internet should play in your business
  *   What you might (or might not) need a lawyer for
  *   What you may not know about how day-to-day operations should be organized
  *   Issues in hiring people and outsourcing
  *   The characteristics of great entrepreneurs
  *   Trademarks and Intellectual Property
  *   And much more!
