Alvernia University - Business & Entrepreneurship Summer Camp
Designed for students who have completed a week of Entrepreneurship camp, this advanced, hands-on program focuses on building and launching a business. Students refine their ideas by developing a unique value proposition, creating brand elements like logos and taglines, and analyzing strengths, risks, and opportunities (SWOT). They learn how to identify target customers, set pricing, and explore startup costs and funding options. Participants also gain insight into how real companies operate by examining stakeholders, organizational structure, and decision-making. The week concludes with a Shark Tank–style pitch, where students present a polished business plan and pitch deck to investors, building confidence and real-world business skills.
