Entrepreneurs needed for Google's Campus! Closing date 29 August

[KateSMumsnet]

Do you have a business idea that you'd like to bring to life? Campus is a community of parent entrepreneurs looking for new recruits to take part in their free training/mentoring program. Here's what they say about it:

"Got a great business idea and looking for mentoring, a support network and more? Campus is Google's Old Street building for entrepreneurs, offering free, open access events designed to educate and empower you, and they have one program that's made for you; Campus for Mums. For one morning a week over nine weeks, you and 34 other parent entrepreneurs (men welcome!) will learn about topics such as product development, marketing and more, through workshops, talks, peer-to-peer mentoring and more. Apply here: goo.gl/jSWjyJ or email [email protected] for more information"

Please use this thread to chat about your business ideas, and what you'd hope to get from the sessions.

Shame this is so London-centric. I live in the NW and couldn't make it once a week for that long. :(

Ooh DH works there and it's a great environment. Good luck everyone!

I have just submitted my form and am very excited at the thought of being picked for this!
I presume we will hear some time next week, as it starts the following week?
Thanks!

Oh, I've just noticed Valerie has said it starts on the 16th, but the form says the 9th?

Wondering if anyone has heard back yet?

Not me!

I found out yesterday that I made it through to the final stage of the selection process! So happy! They set us a task which is to produce a one page slide - kind of an elevator pitch - which sums up our business idea and what we hope to get from the course. I'm still working on mine - has to be in by tomorrow eek! Anyone else through to this stage?

Yes, me too! I wonder how many are in this round. Exciting

Oh well done Hippo! Let me know how you get on!

You too! Good luck!

Having got through to this round I'm ducking out.

Two children off school with a virus. :-(

Crap with power point and no time to get any help to put a slide together.

Oh well, maybe next year...

Oh what a shame Mini! I've just submitted my slide. I hope it's what they were looking for but we'll have to wait and see. Should find out on Monday apparently so fingers crossed!

That is a shame minipie - it might be worth just sending something though. After all if we were brilliant at ppt and pitches we wouldn't be needing the course

I'm faffing with fonts. Jealous of your timely submission, lolly.

Right - got my shizzle together and sent a slide.

Never done one before and it was a bit rubbish.

Wish me luck.

I did this last term - it is brilliant. Good luck to those applying! They do some joint events with previous alumnae so we might get to meet :)

Oh wow Polly id love to hear more about it. Did you go on to launch your business? Was the course a big help?

Anyone heard anything yet?
[pacing]

No

Hmm, guess we're not hearing today then, that's a bit disappointing. The email did seem to imply we'd hear either way, didn't it?

Yes it did.

I didn't hear anything yet either. Maybe today then I guess?

Hope so!

Btw sorry for calling you minipie, minifingers I'm on another thread with minipie and got confused

Quite like the name minipie!

I wish someone from mumsnet would give us the heads up about when we're likely to hear.

Wonder why they didn't send an email out last night saying 'there's going to be a delay in getting back to you' and you can stop checking your email every 3 seconds

Hi I also got through to the third round and did the slide and was also told we would hear yesterday so fingers crossed it's today. At least it's some consolation that nobody on here has heard anything either way! Good Luck everybody!
