The report highlights the Boot Camp's success at giving attendees both the confidence and the knowledge they were seeking to turn their 91ÊÓÆµµØÖ·ÏÂÔØideas into a reality. Surveying the participants, 100% of them said that their confidence in starting a 91ÊÓÆµµØÖ·ÏÂÔØhad risen since the start of the Boot Camp and more than 90% felt that they had benefited from the supportive networking environment.

Participants also felt ready to build on their successes, with 22% ready to start trading by the end of the event and 9% even taking the first big step of making a sale within their first week. Encouragingly, 100% of attendees felt more in control of their 91ÊÓÆµµØÖ·ÏÂÔØidea by the end of the Boot Camp, feeling they now have the tools needed to take the next steps towards growing their business.
