On November 13, CEO Bootcamp is back for its second year, presented by the WVU Office of Innovation and Commercialization, the law firm of Jones Day, and U.S. Research Impact Alliance (USRIA).

Held at the Clark Mountaineer Club at the WVU Coliseum, this seminar-style event will cover best business practices, IP guidance for founders, commercial contracting, and corporate and financial basics for startups.  

This bootcamp offers a condensed version of the program Jones Day routinely provides to large investor groups and their portfolio companies. Emerging and early-stage C-suite teams will gain essential foundational knowledge and the opportunity to ask questions directly. The program also features a session on SBIR/STTR funding, with on-site experts available for individual consultations.
