Application Information

The Entrepreneurs Bootcamp is an online business training program that helps educate Kentucky's aspiring entrepreneurs launch new ventures. All eligible students, staff, faculty, and Kentucky entrepreneurs are welcome to apply to the program. Bootcamp is only open to Kentucky-based entrepreneurs. All other entrepreneurs outside the state are encouraged to seek out your local state resources. Eligibility and acceptance into Bootcamp is competitive.

All applications fields must be completed as instructed, or your application will not be considered. A 500 word project description is required for all new ideas.

There are two ways to participate in Bootcamp. Apply as a Team Leader or Team Member.

To be eligible for Bootcamp, you must have access to a computer with internet capabilities (including microphone/video being fully functional), have experience with presenting with Powerpoint/Microsoft Office tools, setup and schedule Zoom/Google virtual meetings throughout the program, and be fully able to commit to a virtual learning environment once a week for a full semester.

Anyone with an already demanding schedule is not encouraged to participate in this Online Business Training Program, as starting a business is very time consuming. Expect to spend an additional 3-5 hours outside of the regular Bootcamp online sessions working on your idea, as leaders are responsible for driving the project and scheduling separate meetings with your team, coaches, mentors, and judges throughout the program.
