Bootcamp Offers “Crash Course in Entrepreneurship”
Three veterans of Silicon Valley’s blazing tech success shared their business expertise with graduate students in life sciences and engineering at the first-ever Wisconsin Entrepreneurial Bootcamp.
The five-day pilot program and the three men who run “companies that changed the way the world does business” were featured in an article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, “Silicon Valley Comes to Madison.”
The heart of Wisconsin Entrepreneurial Bootcamp was close interactions between graduate students in sciences and engineering and business leaders like John Morgridge, chairman emeritus of Cisco Systems.
School of Business alumni G. Steven Burrill, CEO of Burrill & Company, (l.) and John Morgridge, chairman emeritus of Cisco System (r.) explored with students how business start-ups help create economic and social value. Mark Leslie, founding chairman and CEO of Veritas Software, was the third representative of Silicon Valley tech success who participated in Wisconsin Entrepreneurial Bootcamp.
