http://www.bootupcamp.com/page/Schedule.aspx

This seems like entirely the wrong way to build a "business". More like how to build a hobby project.

Haven't they read four steps to epiphany - the first stage isn't about building a tool and writing a business plan, it's about talking to your market and validating your idea, customer development in Steve's terms.

And you don't get there using anything remotely like that schedule.

Day 1 - meet participants, brainstorm ideas, form into teams Day 2 - build your business plan and plan development of the product

Come on!



The approach is patently 'business school.'
