New Frontiers: Phase 1 Bootcamp.
Topic: Brushing up on lessons learnt.
While working in the games’ industry as a Games Writer & Designer, I wanted to brush up on what I had learnt with New Frontiers and the Local Enterprise Office. As well as this, I was still interested in New Frontiers’: Phase 2 programme. I had heard of a local, New Frontiers: Phase 1 Bootcamp-programme from a family friend, and I was considering of starting my own business/developing my own video game at the time. As such, I decided to enrol in the bootcamp, with the aim of applying to and being accepted onto their Phase 2 programme afterwards.
The bootcamp was hosted by Paul Healy and George Bulman, and covered a variety of topics over a day-long webinar. The topics we covered with the webinar’s speakers included: Market Research, Business Development, Funding, Customer Engagement and Sales. The bootcamp was a great crash-course in these topics, and I can recommend it, as well as New Frontiers: Phase 1 to anyone who is considering their own business venture.

It depends on your project, ambition and needs, but generally speaking, programmes like these are worth applying for. If you’re successful, not only do you learn about topics relevant to your project and business, but you build upon your ‘CV’ for future applications. If unsuccessful, you’ll still have your application, which can be iterated upon and used for follow-up applications, where the likelihood you succeed increases.
Those behind these programmes and their applications, generally look for individuals that are competent and determined. If you can demonstrate that you have a well-researched and realistic product/business idea, and that you’re willing to participate in programmes such as this one, the likelihood you succeed with your programme-based application increases substantially.
Of course, a good application needs to be well-researched and written also. That’s where we can help.
