Entrepreneur boot camp: get your ideas in gear

So you’ve got this great idea for a product or new service. You may even have a partner to help carry it out, and a business plan.


Now what?


You can learn how to take that next big step, obtaining funding for your plan, at this week’s 2009 Entrepreneur Boot Camp at The Health Foundation of Greater Cincinnati at Rookwood Tower, 3805 Edwards Road in Norwood.


The two-day workshop starts June 3, and is geared toward future entrepreneurs and those looking to grow an existing business. It’s hosted by Queen City Angels investors and C-Cap. Sponsors include Biostart and law firm Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP.


“C-Cap is a resource hub designed to link entrepreneurs with Angel investors and the other resources they need to create successful growth companies. Our mission is to increase the number of growth companies that receive seed capital funding from Cincinnati area Angels,” said Connie Wiedemann, with The Circuit, a Cincinnati IT association that operates C-Cap.

 


The Keynote speaker June 3 is Rob Daly, with Silverstone Advisors. His presentation will be “Building a High-Growth Business.” On June 4, boot campers will get to talk with Queen City Angels investors and professional financial advisors, who will offer one-on-one advice on business plans, Wiedemann said.


The June 3 session is from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The June 4 session is from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The cost is $279. You can see the entire schedule here. For more information, call Wiedemann at (513) 618-6441.
