If you’re planning a Corporate Escape or are an early stage entrepreneur. Then this 2 day event run by Steve Sammartino - founder of Rentoid, author of startupblog.wordpress.com and all round good guy - is an investment worth considering. For a very simple reason: It’ll save you many thousands by not having to make all the mistakes Steve did before he got it right.

What stuff will be covered?

Content taught includes:
- Idea generation
- Idea validation
- Art of bootstrapping
- Setup costs / legal Tips & tricks
- Project / Cash flow management
- Outsourcing ( digital & production)
- Raising capital
- PR – Getting on TV, radio and in newspapers (all of which I’ve done before – see www.rentoid.com/about and scroll down)
- Social media tools
- Staffing & handling the growth curve.

All of which will be interactive – and busts the myths of success. You wont read the truth about this stuff in books because the truth isn’t shiny and doesn’t sell. All 10 alumni graduates get Steve as an on going mentor to help them startup and success like he has with www.rentoid.com.

It also includes food & drink for 2 days. It is $998 for the 2 days. It’s not cheap – bit it’s the real deal. A worthy investment with a money back guarantee to blow your mind.

If you think it’s expensive – then think about this:

How much is 17 minutes of prime time ‘in program’ TV coverage worth? More than $500,000. Steve's done it and startup school will teach you how.
How much is full page spreads worth in National Newspapers & magazine worth?
How much did your last website cost to build? Steve built www.startupschool.com.au for $220 and I’m not a tech person, designer or a coder.
How valuable is knowing how to raise Angel and Venture Capital? Or even know the right people?
What about in market validation without the actual expense of launching?
The point is your investment will pay for itself many times over.

It’ll be running in Sydney and Melbourne for 10 people only. It’s pretty much a one off event. So if you want to come book a seat at www.startupschool.com.au or feel free to give Steve a call {0438 779 566} for more info. Be quick it’s limited to 10 people only.
