Do you have a Dream?

Have you ever considered Starting a Venture?

Do you have an idea for a business but are not sure where to go with it?

Have you started your venture but want to find better ways to ensure your success?


If the answer to any of these questions is Yes!, then the Entrepreneur's Bootcamp is for you. The Falcone Center for Entrepreneurship and the Martin J. Whitman School of Management will be offering the sixth annual START-UP: Syracuse Entrepreneur's Bootcamp in the fall of 2009.

What is the Bootcamp all about?
Focused, intense, and packed with useful material, this course is tailored to aspiring entrepreneurs in the Syracuse area and answers questions such as the following:

  • What is a good business concept?
  • How can I determine if my 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?
