Future Founders Startup Bootcamp is now open for applications.
A free bootcamp designed to help 18 to 30-year-olds turn ideas, passions, and side hustles into functioning businesses, they’ll provide a series of workshops, mentorship opportunities, and peer support to help you launch and grow.
Skills
- Learn the skills you need to succeed
- Kickstart your entrepreneurial journey through Startup Bootcamp, a three-month workshop and discussion series that instills a foundation of entrepreneurial skills in participants like you while you build your startup network. Startup Bootcamp culminates with Pitch Day, an opportunity to get your ideas in front of a new audience while you flex your pitching skills.
- Industry Agnostic: They work with almost every type of business idea and industry
- Virtual Bootcamp: Startup Bootcamp allows virtual participation, so you can participate from anywhere
- Entrepreneur Led: Instructors are all seasoned entrepreneurs and business leaders
- Peer Community: Build transformative relationships with young entrepreneurs across the U.S.
- Motivation and Accountability: Gain tools to stay motivated and hold yourself accountable to your goals
- Access to Experts: Gain access to their national network of entrepreneurs and business leaders
- Post-Program Opportunities: Opportunity to take advantage of mentoring and additional programs
- Additional Support to Grow Your Business: Founders who show the most intention and traction through Startup Bootcamp will be invited to Phase Two of the program. Over the course of three months, Phase Two members will connect with coaches and peer mentors to help them grow their new businesses.
Eligibility Criteria
- Industry: Future Founders programs are industry agnostic (They’ve worked with everything from jewelry to drones!)
- Age: Their programming is geared for people 18-30ish years of age. You have to be at least 18 to qualify. Totally cool if you’re in your thirties, especially if this is your first go-around within entrepreneurship or you need a community to support you in this journey.
- COVID Vaccination: They require “full COVID vaccination” of all program participants
- Co-founders: Co-founders are eligible to participate together in the Startup Bootcamp, only. Co-founders must submit their own applications to be considered. Co-founders will not be eligible to both participate in the Fellowship; If you have two co-founders you’d like to be considered, they may each apply, but only one may be selected.
- Your location: Most of their programming is held virtually, but each program includes at least one retreat in Chicago. You do not need to live in or relocate to Chicago if selected. Unfortunately, at this time, they cannot work with companies HQ’d outside of the United States.
