Two years in the planning and involving a wide range of business organisations from across the south west, the unique and innovative Entrepreneurs Bootcamp™ had its first outing in the UK in Plymouth in March 2007.

Designed and developed by business acceleration specialists Pragmatic Performance Group Ltd as part of the Plymouth Business Growth project, the Entrepreneurs Bootcamp™ is a radically new approach to nurturing, establishing and growing new entrepreneurs in business. It combines the best that the business, academic and military worlds have to offer.

Entrants do not need qualifications or loads of business experience – just enthusiasm, determination and drive and of course, a business idea that has commercial potential. Neither do they need money. This unique venture brings together existing businesses and commercial organisations who sponsor the participants – financially for the five day Bootcamp immersion experience and then as supporters and mentors for the following twelve months as the participants’ business ideas get all the help they need to take off.

The Entrepreneurs Bootcamp™ is not a training course. It is a unique entrepreneurial immersion programme that will provide successful entrants with the secrets to business success – from the knowledge needed to launch a successful business to the contacts who will help accelerate that growth.

To get a taste of what the Entrepreneurs Bootcamp™ involves, go to our 2007 Entrepreneurs Bootcamp™ page to see what our 11 intrepid Bootcampers had to go through – and where they are now!
