Hybrid Bootstrap workshop for USA and Brazil campus students

To help student-entrepreneurs at our Raleigh and Belo Horizonte campuses strengthen their business idea, SKEMA Ventures is organizing a four-day hybrid Bootstrap-Americas workshop from April 12 to 15.

The objective of the workshop is to help participants in getting their business project off the ground. During the workshop, SKEMA Ventures coaches will help you to design an attractive value proposition of your business idea for customers, identify the right business model to support it, and practice how to pitch your venture to investors and stakeholders, among other things. The coaching will be provided in English.

Learning outcomes

After the workshop, the participants will be able to:

  • Understand the key determinants of the entrepreneurial mindset
  • Use the tools and methods of business modelling
  • Pitch the business plan in front of professional stakeholders to provide a clear, short, and valuable understanding of their value proposition and business model

The last date to register for the workshop is April 9.
