Ben Franklin’s TechCelerator at Indiana is hosting a series of weekly virtual business startup “boot camps” that are geared towards providing a framework for young developers in determining whether it is the right time to start a tech-related business. There’s a chance to win $10,000 during the Final’s event on August 18, in which participants will pitch ideas to a panel of independent judges.
In addition, there will be a “People’s Choice Award” where the winner, who will be chosen by a virtual audience, will receive $1,000.
Sessions run every Tuesday from 2 to 5 p.m. beginning on June 8 and they will run until August 17. Space is limited and a link to apply can be found here.
