While participating in the Bootcamp, the exercise’s for ‘exploring your why’ and the ‘business model canvass’ were my favorite components and helped me the most in starting a successful business. – Sean

At 22, on a whim, I participated in the Veteran Business Bootcamp program. While I was the youngest in the classroom, It was the greatest decision of my life.
