Lehigh Valley LaunchBox (LVLB) is launching a Fall 2020 LVLB Virtual StartUp Bootcamp for people with a scalable business idea who need help turning it into an actionable business plan.

The Bootcamp, which has no fee, starts Aug. 26 and runs once a week from 6-8 p.m. Each session will be taught by expert advisers. 

Participants are encouraged to attend all six classes and are required to attend at least four. Participation is by application only and people of diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply.  Applications are invited from any Pennsylvania-based entrepreneur. Applications must be submitted by Aug. 10. Accepted applicants will be notified by Aug. 17. No affiliation with Penn State is required.
