Entrepreneurs Connect at the Be the Entrepreneur Bootcamp


The Palouse Knowledge Corridor’s Be the Entrepreneur Bootcamp wrapped up its first year on June 25. The immersive bootcamp had six companies participating in the agriculture track, six in technology and one in animal health. The topics were selected based on area expertise and regional demand, according to event organizers.

“It was a great first year,” said event organizer Robin Ohlgren, co-chair of the Palouse Knowledge Corridor and representative from the Southeast Washington Economic Development Association (SEWEDA). “We are pleased with the success of our inaugural effort. The board has already voted to hold the event again next year.”

Local organizations also got in on the show. The 33 event sponsors ranged from small businesses to both the University of Idaho and Washington State University and local government agencies, as well as corporate support. There were also 32 instructors at the Bootcamp, with expertise ranging from law, marketing, accounting, economic development, startups, social media and more.
