The Morgridge Entrepreneurial Bootcamp (MEB) is a one-week intensive training program in technology entrepreneurship for graduate students in the sciences, engineering, and math. MEB is co-sponsored by the Initiative for Studies in Transformational Entrepreneurship (INSITE) and the Weinert Center for Entrepreneurship.

As a MEB student, you will work with case analyses, lectures, expert panels, and exercises in market assessments and participate in lively social events.

For all content areas, MEB offers specific opportunities to:

  • Develop your ability to use practical tools
  • Deepen your conceptual ability to explore fundamental links between tech and business
  • Broaden your factual knowledge about technology strategy and entrepreneurship
