What it costs: This bootcamp is offered completely free of charge, thanks to a grant from the Small Business Development Administration, but space is limited to ensure that each participant can receive individualized coaching. There are only ten spots available. Due to the small class size, the selection process is competitive, and ten applicants will be selected based on the strength of their application.
