Bootcamp

Virtual Event | February 25, 2021 | Detroit

The NYSE’s first Entrepreneur Bootcamp kicked off in Detroit on February 25 as our community, along with JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Grow Michigan aimed to empower the city’s underserved community of entrepreneurs with the human capital they need to succeed. With frank conversations from business leaders who have climbed the ranks, to instructional teachings on how to scale your company, master the art of networking up, and position yourself for M&A, this interactive virtual event will look to educate, inspire, and provide lasting connections for Detroit’s business owners.

This series of bootcamps kicks off in February, 2021 in Detroit, followed by stops in Atlanta, Chicago and more. Every step of the way our goal is to connect resources with local entrepreneurs, and begin to raise the profile of these small business owners amid our own NYSE listed community.
