Indiana Entrepreneur Bootcamp - Eastern Indiana Economic Growth Region

TechPoint and StartUp Indiana will host the next regional Indiana Entrepreneur Bootcamp in Richmond at Indiana University East on Friday, June 13 from 8:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. This free program helps entrepreneurs find ways to make their company a lean, mean business machine.

Attendees will learn how to make their businesses more effective from the best business drill sergeants in Indiana, as well as renowned business coach Bill Joos, principal at Go To Market Consulting, formerly vice president of Entrepreneur Development at Silicon Valley-based Garage Technology Ventures. Participants will also have the opportunity to network with experts, entrepreneurs, and venture capitalists.

The Bootcamp curriculum teaches participants how to transform business startups into profitable companies and train profitable enterprises to become entrepreneurial machines. Bill Joos will tell it like it is as he puts participants through the paces of business positioning, refining the "elevator pitch," and avoidance of common business planning mistakes.

The program begins at 8:00 a.m. with registration and a networking continental breakfast, followed by a welcome and introductions. Bill Joos will teach all three workshops and moderate a panel discussion with local entrepreneurs and community representatives. Workshops include:

Perfecting Your Positioning and Brand,
Perfecting Your Pitching and Presentation, and
Ten Biggest Mistakes in Business Plans.
