JACKSON, Wyoming (July 8, 2016) – Silicon Couloir and Central Wyoming College continue their successful partnership to bring the 7th session of the Start Up Intensive to Jackson, WY in the fall of 2016.  Formerly known as the Start Up Institute, the Start Up Intensive is an in-depth entrepreneurial training program designed to provide participants with proven tools, frameworks and skills that winning companies utilize to launch successful business ideas.  

 This program has graduated 80 participants in the last three years and provides a unique opportunity for anyone starting a new business venture or building on an existing business to create a lasting foundation for success.  The most recent spring program included a drone company, a social services non-profit, a food delivery network, several media companies, an art gallery, a handyman business, a pet services company and more.  

It’s like a condensed MBA program, entirely focused on your business idea and your growth as a CEO. ”

From October 11, 2016 through December 15, 2106, 12-14 participants will dedicate three full days per week to class time in addition to working through their ideas after class hours.  The class ends with participants presenting their businesses to a panel of experienced advisors.  Once the class time program concludes, participants are given ten hours of follow up consulting time with a panel of experts to use as they move forward.
