You’re invited to apply: Communitech’s Women Entrepreneurs Bootcamp

Looking for a way to launch and grow your business idea in Waterloo Region? As part of Google for Entrepreneurs #40Forward initiative, Communitech is hosting a two-part Women Entrepreneurs Bootcamp. Applications are now open.

Increase your exposure to our local ecosystem and gain a solid foundation for startup success as we take you through a mix of core concepts and practical application.

This two-part bootcamp features:

Part I: Ideation (August 19-21)
Develop your business idea and hone in on a minimum viable product. The three day session culminates in a pitch practice where teams receive extensive feedback to prepare for the next round--or are sent back to the drawing board.

Part II: Building (September 23-25)
Tune your business engine with an accelerated introduction to Basic Finance/Accounting, Marketing/Sales, HR, Compliance, Legal and Insurance. Then, compete for seed funding at the final pitch competition before an all-star panel of judges:

1st prize           $15,000

2nd prize          $7,000

3rd prize           $3,000

 

If you have a strong interest in becoming an entrepreneur, and have a clearly defined area or idea for creating a new business, apply before July 25, 2014.
