“This is the first time MSU students have attended this conference,” Paul Jaques,
director of Student and Community Engagement for Spartan Innovations,
said. “The competition is very stiff for being accepted to attend this bootcamp,
as they are looking for the best and brightest college student
entrepreneurs from around the world. I am proud of the work these
students are doing at The Hatch and consider it a fantastic opportunity
for them to rub elbows with their entrepreneurial peers at this
important event.”
The BASES e-Bootcamp
is an intensive international conference held annually at Stanford
University for student entrepreneurs. The goal of this event is to
educate participants by providing them with insider information from
Silicon Valley companies and providing a forum where peers can meet and
create lasting relationships.
Students participating in the e-Bootcamp will go on a tour of local start-up companies, attend pitching and improv workshops, view marketing initiatives, hear from specialized panels and participate in mentoring sessions with high profile sponsors and partners. Participants will also have the opportunity to present their products in a competitive environment through a product showcase and pitch competition, attended by investors and Silicon Valley executives.
