2024 Morgridge Entrepreneurial Bootcamp – June 3-7, 2024

The Morgridge Entrepreneurial Bootcamp (MEB) is a one-week intensive training program in technology entrepreneurship for graduate students in the sciences, engineering, and math. MEB is co-sponsored by the Initiative for Studies in Transformational Entrepreneurship (INSITE) and the Weinert Center for Entrepreneurship.

As an MEB student, you will work with case analyses, lectures, expert panels, and exercises in market assessments, and participate in lively social events.

You will learn to imagine, create, and assess opportunities using multiple lenses; develop resources for an organization by forming teams and seeking funding; and use accounting and finance as language and assessment tools.

For all content areas, MEB offers specific opportunities to:

• Develop your ability to use practical tools
• Deepen your conceptual ability to explore fundamental links between tech and business
• Broaden your factual knowledge about technology strategy and entrepreneurship

The application will open on February 5, 2024. Application deadline is March 7, 2024.

You will not be able to return to an incomplete application, so before you begin, you may find it helpful to prepare in advance your answers to the following questions:

• Current degree program
• Past degrees
• Current employer (if any)
• Faculty sponsorship (while not required, it is beneficial if your faculty sponsor understands and approves your week long commitment away from the lab)
• Prior business or entrepreneurial experiences
• Why you are interested in this program and how it fits your goals

*Note: You must complete the entire application online and submit it to be in the consideration set for admission.
