INSEAD Entrepreneurs' Bootcamp: An Immersive Weekend of Entrepreneurship - March 14-16th |
Are you interested in starting your own business? Are you interested in getting a weekend of insight into some of the issues involved and how best to prepare? INSEAD has recently launched a highly successful intensive 48 hour Bootcamp for Alumni focused on just this, and for the first time ever in the southern hemisphere, the INSEAD Alumni Association Australia/New Zealand is able to offer this immensely popular program.
Here is the scenario played out over a weekend. What would you do if you were told that you have an appointment 48 hours from now with two investors who are motivated to place $1-5 million in a new entrepreneurial venture? How should you go about thinking through your venture and a credible presentation? How can you persuade the investors that you know what you are doing?
You will work with Paul Kewene-Hite of INSEAD, a very experienced entrepreneur, who will take you from a basic idea to credibly pitching in 48 hours. Focusing on key entrepreneurial skills, this is hands-on fitness training. You will be paced through a reality check on how and what it takes to puzzle though complex details rapidly and then persuade sophisticated investors that you should be taken seriously.
