Shenandoah University Offers Free Virtual CO.STARTERS BOOTCAMP

The Shenandoah University Center for Entrepreneurship will host a free CO.STARTERS^© BOOTCAMP to assist entrepreneurs and small business owners with getting down to business and launching their new product, service, and/or offering. Sessions will be offered virtually via Zoom on Tuesday and Thursday evenings (Oct. 31, Nov. 2, Nov. 7, and Nov. 9) from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

This four-part entrepreneur training bootcamp is non-credit-bearing, so admission to Shenandoah University is not required.

CO.STARTERS© BOOTCAMP’s action-oriented, community-driven approach is ideal for entrepreneurs ready to kick the tires on their ideas. Participants work collaboratively with peers to strategize, problem-solve and apply business basics to their idea or venture.

The only real prerequisites to joining the program are having an idea; being willing to question, shape and fine-tune that idea; and being willing to talk about the idea with others. The goal is to challenge you, stretch your thinking, and give you concrete tools to bring your business venture to life.”
