STATE COLLEGE, PA –Ben Franklin’s TechCelerator@StateCollege, a partnership with the Invent Penn State initiative, is again offering local entrepreneurs, grad-students, professors, and university researchers a VIRTUAL 10-Week Business Startup Boot Camp.

The weekly ZOOM sessions will be on Tuesdays, Sept 13 – November 29, 2022 / 2:00 – 5:00 P.M. One-hour on-line mentoring/coaching sessions will also be provided each week.
This is a no-cost opportunity!

In addition, a “People’s Choice Award” of $1,000 will also be awarded at graduation. Friends, family, and co-workers of the participants will be invited to join the Zoom audience to vote for their favorite presentation.
Business mentoring from Ben Franklin’s Transformation Business Services Network and Penn State’s Small Business Development Center staff will also be available.
