The Center for Leadership and Entrepreneurial Studies in collaboration with the Lavin Entrepreneurship Center at San Diego State University, The University of California San Diego, SCORE San Diego Chapter, and community partners, will be launching Cohort 3 of the Community Bootcamp for Entrepreneurs, a 6-week training program for entrepreneurs in underserved communities. More than 30 entrepreneurs from some of San Diego’s most underserved communities will participate in this year’s program. Working with instructors from leading colleges and universities, the entrepreneurs will take part in a mentorship program led by business executives from SCORE then paired with student consultants to work on value-add projects that are necessary to move their businesses forward. The bootcamp is held at the Kroc Salvation Army located at 6753 University Ave in San Diego, and offers a strong exposure to key concepts, tools, and approaches to starting and growing a business. It is targeted to people in San Diego County with a dream of a business they want to start, or who have launched an early-stage venture and need some guidance and insights. It also features top faculty from local universities, subject matter experts and successful entrepreneurs over six consecutive Saturday mornings starting on September 9 and ending on October 14. This bootcamp is an initiative under the Urban Poverty and Business Initiative (UPBI), which is a collaboration among over 30 universities and non-profit organizations globally, working together to help individuals in underserved communities start and grow sustainable businesses.
