The first ever BootUpCamp is coming up and it looks like its going to be a cracker.

Brought to you by the same people who run the extremely useful Startup Camp Weekends, BootUpCamp aims to take that experience a step further by giving participants 2 full weeks to build a web business.

In the organisers’ words:

BootUpCamp is an intensive entrepreneurship workshop where participants will go from an idea to a fully operational web business in two weeks.

Participants apply as individuals and work in teams of two to four. You don’t need to have an idea of what you want to build, teams will brainstorm ideas on the first day.

Each day the teams are given a deadline to work towards. These deadlines are things like “be ready to demonstrate your product by 6pm” or “have a press release and list of journalists to send it to by noon.”

At the end of the two weeks you will:

• have experienced the thrill of starting a business without having to quit your job/drop out of school
• own a share of the business you have built
• have met and learned from some of the best entrepreneurial minds in Australia
• have made some good decisions and some bad ones; learned from them and moved on
• have worked hard and had a lot of fun

Having seen the value of 48 hours spent at StartupCamp I can only imagine how much better BootUpCamp will be for those who are lucky enough to participate.

I spoke to Brian Menzies, one of the organisers, and asked him what type of people should apply. His response was:

BootUp Camp is open to anyone, mainly developers have applied so far, plenty of room for more developers, be great to get some designers, but passion is the important element, so we’ll look at all comers
