ENTREPRENEURIAL BOOT CAMP RETURNS, BRINGING NEW INSIGHT TO THE BUSINESS LANDSCAPE FOR START-UPS AND GROWING BUSINESSES

Advance Casper, Natrona County’s Economic Development Authority, will be hosting the 2021 Entrepreneurial Boot Camp, in partnership with IMPACT307 and Breakthrough 307. This one-day intensive course will be led by a group of robust subject matter experts (SMEs) and will take place virtually, Thursday, March 18th, from 8:00a-5:00p. Cost is $95.

“Local entrepreneurs are an asset to our community, and giving them the resources to successfully get started in business is what the Entrepreneurial Boot Camp is all about. All of our presenters have so much knowledge that is integral in the start-up process, we are happy to have such a great mix of SMEs this year,” says Justin Farley, CEO for Advance Casper.

This course will provide entrepreneurs with the knowledge to evolve their business from concept to reality, and beyond. Students will better understand how to assess their business by the end of the course, and determine if they are prepared to competitively enter the market. The holistic nature of the Entrepreneurial Boot Camp will help students frame the information in terms of their own business. Topics about alternative entrepreneurial finance, entrepreneurial law and IP, branding and marketing, market analysis, sales, pitching, and much more.

This course is held in tandem with IMPACT307’s Start-Up Challenge, slated for April 20th, 2021. The Start-Up Challenge strives to improve the entrepreneurial climate in Casper by providing monetary incentive and business support for contestants to bring their ideas to fruition. By accelerating the start-up of high-value businesses and mitigating the high risk and high reward proposition, inherent to early-stage businesses, this partnership results in more innovative and diversified Wyoming businesses and career opportunities.
