ANN ARBOR – Ann Arbor SPARK’s Business

Accelerator is now accepting applications for its next Entrepreneur Boot

Camp, scheduled April 23-24. Teams interested in participating in the

two-day business planning and preparation event must submit applications by

March 30.

“Entrepreneur Boot Camp is a unique, hand’s on learning experience for

start-ups seeking a boost in business development and company formation,”

said Michael A. Finney, Ann Arbor SPARK CEO. “Connecting entrepreneurs with

valuable insight and information is key to helping start-ups in the region

succeed, and is the focus of Entrepreneur Boot Camp.”

Entrepreneur Boot Camp, now in its 15th installment, is designed to

help early stage technology businesses increase their chances for

attracting additional funding, finding resources and achieving success. A

unique combination of hands-on learning and one-on-one mentoring, the event

features nationally noted speakers on entrepreneurship, successful local

entrepreneurs and investors.

At the completion of Entrepreneur Boot Camp, participating teams get an

opportunity to present their company to an investor panel. The team judged

as the best opportunity will win an initial engagement at the Ann Arbor

SPARK Business Accelerator valued at $5,000.

Entrepreneur Boot Camp will be held in Ann Arbor at the Michigan

Information Technology Center (MITC). The cost for a two-person team is

$1000 and includes valuable reference materials, all meals and access to a

post-Boot Camp celebration.
