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, held in Grainger Hall this summer.

School of Business alumni G. Steven Burrill, CEO of Burrill & Company, and  John Morgridge, chairman emeritus of Cisco System 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.

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.”
