The BSEEN Bootcamp

Everything you need to know about our startup training bootcamps

We like to start with a bang – you’ll start your 12 month experience on the BSEEN programme by participating in one of our intensive startup bootcamps.

We want you to start your entrepreneurial journey with a solid foundation of knowledge, so you can take your first steps with confidence. So, we’ve recruited a team of expert trainers, who’ll deliver a series of interactive workshops on key topics, including digital marketing, sales and pitching, finance, business planning and getting into a founders mindset.

Our trainers have a huge amount of experience and wisdom to share with you, and are at your disposal to answer any burning questions.

The bootcamp usually takes place over 5 days at one of our partner universities, but is currently being delivered via online workshops.

We also welcome alumni back to the bootcamp to share their experiences with you – the perfect opportunity to quiz an entrepreneur a little further ahead than you on the challenges they’ve faced and the lessons they’ve learned.
