The Virtual Entrepreneurs Bootcamp 1.0 is an intense and immersive learning experience that requires at least 3-5 hours of extra time outside of Bootcamp, regular classwork, or your full-time job. By selecting “Yes, I agree,” you are indicating your full commitment to the program and adjusting your regular schedule as needed to participate in Bootcamp 1.0.

Your enrollment certifies that you have access to a computer with internet capabilities, have experience using Powerpoint/Microsoft Office tools, and are knowledgeable of setting up Zoom/Google virtual meetings throughout the program with VACE staff coordinators, outside mentors, coaches, etc.

I certify that by participating in the online Bootcamp, I will present at each Milestone using Powerpoint presentation tools (i.e. understanding that verbal-only presentations are not acceptable). By not adhering to this requirement, I understand that I will be disqualified from Bootcamp, will not receive any certifications of completion, and relinquish all rights to any prize money.

If you win, we will need a mailing address to send the prize money to. Enter an address here.
