Many, perhaps most, teams at high-tech startups excel in science, engineering, and “outside-the-box” creativity.  However, individuals that are part of that team often need to hone their Business and Marketing skills, as they haven’t usually received formal training on these topics and also lack experience in these domains.  

Traditional methods of teaching in Universities and Business Schools are ill-suited to the needs of wannabe entrepreneurs or executive management members of growing startups. Our Academy’s curriculum covers all these needs while giving the entrepreneur and its management team enough flexibility, thanks to new and innovative teaching techniques and content.

As Business Development is a crucial part of the future success of a company, International Boost has designed a training program specifically targeted at startup entrepreneurs. This set of training sessions, centered on original Marketing and Business development techniques, is mostly available online. It is designed to fit into executive busy schedules, and is particularly focused on startups coming from high-tech, Cleantech and Biotech sectors.

Our Academy’s Uniqueness 

1. The Entrepreneur Academy uses instructors from both US/Silicon Valley and France: Our US/Silicon Valley instructors have personal experience in founding or working in Silicon Valley high tech start-ups. These instructors have extensive knowledge in launching startups and mature companies in the US. Our French instructors provide expertise in their native country content (e.g., fund raising, government subsidies and loans [such as COFACE], local professional services firms, etc.)
   Instructors from both countries must show very high credentials, the most important one being successful high-tech startup experience (whether they are currently affiliated with formal academics such as universities, or are still successfully engaging in business).

2. To give training through an appropriate mix of delivery systems, ranging from traditional classrooms to the latest online technologies.

3. To work closely with European and International startup incubators in promoting the Academy’s offering
