About Boot Camps
REVA NEST runs boot camps for first-time entrepreneurs who have an idea but have not yet done the research and planning needed to convince a bank, an angel or their own family. The stated purpose is to teach you how to write a business plan, take a hard look at what you need and what you can expect, find the holes in the idea, and prepare answers to the questions anyone will ask you. Formats vary — a weekend, several weeks, or a few months.
This is a standing description rather than a scheduled programme: the only dated boot-camp event on the page is a pitch day from 2019, and a university-edition start-up boot camp with a corporate partner appears only in the 2023 brochure. Ask whether one is running before you plan around it.
What you get
- How to write a business plan.
- A hard look at your financial needs and prospects.
- Help finding and fixing the weak points in your idea.
- Practice answering the questions funders ask.
Who can apply
- First-time entrepreneurs with a business idea. No conditions are published.
