The Entrepreneurship Bootcamp, or “E-Bootcamp,” was tailored to the interests of Darden students, but also is open to alumni, UVA, and the greater Charlottesville community.

The E-Bootcamp consisted of a full day of workshops and a reception/networking session. This program focused on issues of tactical concern to entrepreneurs, for example: incorporating, building a team, sharing equity with founding partners, confidentiality agreements, business plans, start-up accounting, creative bootstrapping, and other funding concerns. Sessions were led by leading entrepreneurship professors and practitioners.

The goal of Darden's E-Bootcamp was to provide entrepreneurs with the basic tools to execute the first steps of creating a start-up venture. Unlike other programs, the E-Bootcamp offered basic “blocking & tackling” to get a start-up going.
