EIGHTH SESSION OF THE START UP INTENSIVE TO START THIS SPRING
Silicon Couloir and Central Wyoming College continue their successful partnership to bring the eighth session of the Start Up Intensive to Jackson, Wyoming this spring. Formerly known as the Start Up Institute, the Start Up Intensive is an in-depth entrepreneurial training program designed to provide participants with proven tools, frameworks and skills that winning companies utilize to launch successful business ideas.
This program provides a unique opportunity for anyone starting a new business venture or building on an existing business to create a lasting foundation for success and has had 95 graduates in the last three and half years. The most recent program included a high end leather handbag company, an at-risk youth mentoring program, a wine storage facility, a squash and racquet club, a regenerative agriculture consulting firm, an art gallery and more.
Whether you come with an existing business or five ideas on a napkin, expect to leave as a CEO prepared to launch or propel your personal and business growth. ”
From April 11 through June 15, 2017, 12-14 participants will dedicate three full days per week to class time in addition to working through their ideas after class hours. The class ends with participants presenting their businesses to a panel of experienced advisors. Once the class time program concludes, participants are given ten hours of follow up consulting with a panel of experts which students can use as they move forward with their businesses.
Sandy Schultz Hessler, who teaches the program, brings a wealth of business and teaching experience to the front of the classroom. She has taught at Harvard, Tufts University and University of Miami Ohio and has been a successful entrepreneur and marketing professional.
