UpStart Bootcamp teaches founders how to start up smarter, with on-demand courses, private coaching, workshops, books and tools. UpStart’s founders spent 15 years in the startup trenches, learning the right way to build new businesses. Then we started helping venture capital seekers plan and develop companies. Along the way, we realized that while there are great resources for a small number of high-growth companies, like incubators and MBA programs, they’re not accessible to the vast majority of entrepreneurs. That inspired us to develop ways to help founders in any industry, in any location, make smarter startup choices.

Through the partnership, Inc.com has curated a set of learning and coaching solutions to meet the specific needs of their audience.
Jenn Houser, Founder UpStart Bootcamp
Hi, I’m Jenn and I’m a serial entrepreneur. Next confession – I love helping other founders with the startup skills I’ve learned. I also get excited about anything related to strategy, operations, products or technology and (nerd alert!) making complex things simple is my idea of fun. So organizing all this good startup knowledge and sharing it with you is heaven to me.
More details: I’ve founded 5 companies and raised $40M+ from VC’s and angels. My last startup, Motionbox (a consumer video sharing company), was acquired by HP’s Snapfish. I’ve created digital and mobile products for some big brands, including Everyday Health, What to Expect, South Beach Diet, Intel, Time Inc. Pathfinder, People, Sports Illustrated. I’ve got a MBA in new product and venture development from MIT, where I was a teaching assistant in the MIT Entrepreneurship Center, and a BA from Haverford College. And I sneak off to go fly fishing or skiing as often as possible.
