Boot Camp from September 21-23

KATHMANDU, AUG 16 -

Nepalese Young Entrepreneurs’ Forum (NYEF), in association with the US Embassy in Nepal, is organising the Second Entrepreneurship Boot Camp on September 21-23 at Gokarna Forest Resort in Kathmandu .

Under the theme of “Unleash your ideas”, this iteration of the boot camp will target people with a strong, demonstrable interest in starting, or being involved in, the creation of a new business, the NYEF said in a statement. It said the first edition of the boot camp was a big success where 30 participants from diverse background, most of them from outside the valley, were encouraged to think outside the box to work on their ideas.

They were being constantly made to think about the idea’s feasibility and scalability. The winners of the first boot camp also participated in a two weeks long pre-incubation programme and many have already started their business or are in the process of starting one, the NYEF said.

With a mission to open the platform of entrepreneurship and business to all professional arenas, the three-day residential programme will proceed with 30 applicants after a holistic review of their application and business idea.

During the event, the teams will have intensive sessions on enhancing their understanding on starting a business, completing and presenting the business model canvas, with a particular emphasis on-design thinking process and financial planning. The teams will also be assigned mentors to help them in formulating and creating a strong business plan, according to the NYEF.

It said the winning idea would also get access to the pool of mentors at NYEF as well as an opportunity to further work on their idea through NYEF’s Business Pre-Incubation programme. The NYEF has also arranged a prize worth Rs100,000 for the winners.
