A UNIQUE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
In a dynamic global classroom setting, The Entrepreneur’s Boot
Camp provides practical information and stresses applied
learning. Participants gain a deep understanding of themselves as
entrepreneurs, including the unique roles, responsibilities, actions,
and priorities of founders and CEOs. Through lectures, case studies,
and in-depth discussions, this program delivers the key insights
needed to develop a clear understanding of how to launch and
nurture a business from concept through growth.
ACTION-BASED LEARNING
The program features a carefully designed blend of lectures, group
work, and action learning that focuses on assessment, feasibility,
and execution of new business ideas and concepts. In addition,
participants work in teams, prepare and deliver short presentations
on their new business ideas, and receive direct and personalized
advice from faculty members about potential risk and barriers
to success.
GAIN A NEW PERSPECTIVE
Because the Entrepreneur’s Boot Camp is designed for high-potential
entrepreneurs who are ready and committed to launch new business
endeavors, participants will ?nd themselves surrounded by like-
minded individuals from around the world—professionals with work
experience who are discovering and creating new opportunities.
This mix of perspectives, disciplines, and experiences presents a
unique opportunity to discuss, explore, and share ideas. Through
focused conversations and exercises, and casual interactions,
participants will gain insight from others in the classroom as well
as from the faculty.
LEARN FROM THE EXPERTS
Program faculty members include distinguished academics and successful entrepreneurs who have launched and
grown ventures of their own. Supplementing a faculty-led curriculum, some individual program sessions will feature
business leaders with previous startup and venture capital experience.
The program is led by Babson Adjunct Lecturer Angelo Santinelli, an experienced leader
and innovator in creating business strategy, marketing, and delivering results. His more
than 25 years of business experience covers a broad range of disciplines and responsibilities
including business development, strategic planning, M&A, IPO, private equity ?nancing,
customer service, marketing, and international operations. He served as senior vice
president of marketing and business development for Shiva, a highly successful
telecommunications startup that went public. Santinelli has served on numerous boards
of directors, participating in both audit and compensation committees. He is the founder of
Dakin Management, a strategy consultancy focusing on small- to medium-size businesses.
Santinelli was previously a partner with North Bridge Venture Partners, where he began
his investing career. His investment interests ranged from communications and wireless to
Internet infrastructure and software.
