Business Start‑Up Bootcamps
A business bootcamp Wales founders join to move fast
Got an idea? Let’s bring it to life. This is the business bootcamp Wales founders keep coming back to, built for anyone with an idea, no matter how big or small, who’s ready to move fast.
Over four intensive weeks, you’ll cover the essentials: marketing, branding, sales and mindset. Rather than easing you in gradually, the bootcamp gets you moving from day one, so you leave with real tools you can put to work straight away.
Who is this programme for?
Anyone with a business idea, at any stage, who wants intensive, practical guidance rather than a slow build‑up. We also offer a bespoke option for organisations wanting to up‑skill a team on a specific subject.
How is the programme structured?
This business bootcamp runs over 4 intensive weeks, packed with practical guidance rather than theory. It moves quickly, so you leave with things you can act on immediately.
What will this programme cover?
Everything you need to bring an idea to life with purpose and clarity, from marketing and branding to sales and the mindset that keeps you moving once the course ends.
Why it works
Momentum matters. Our Bootcamps take you from idea to action within a month, giving you the practical tools and honest feedback that turn a good idea into a business people will actually buy from.

It was exciting to be in a room filled with people like me, all of us with a passion to be entrepreneurs and a desire to help each other and the world.
I hope I can look back in a few years and come across some of these businesses that I was there to witness at the very beginning

Fantastic course content, inspirational, engaging, and relatable speakers, who have practical experience to draw from, as business owners themselves.
Welsh ICE is a welcoming, diverse, and inclusive community and everyone associated with the organisation wants to do all they can to help you succeed. Met wonderful, like-minded people on the course, all with different business ideas and at various stages of their journey.
I would highly recommend this course to anyone with a business idea or those at the initial stages of their business journey, as it will give you the fundamentals and transferable knowledge and tools to help build a successful business.

It was so much more than I expected. It really helped me clarify so many things: who my client is, how to communicate with them, all the business-related ‘back of house’ things. I feel like this course really helped for all the scattered things to come together. I feel I know what I need to do now. It also helped me overcome some blocks that were preventing me from moving forward with some things, especially in relations to marketing. The whole programme is very comprehensive.
The whole community is brilliant. Everyone’s really dedicated, knowledgeable and are genuinely rooting for you. Another thing I really loved was that it isn’t the ‘traditional’ suited, booted and uptight kind of people but very down-to-earth, easy going and approachable. I felt like I fit right in.

The 5-9 club is an absolutely fantastic course for people starting a new business. Each of the 8 weeks different speakers come in to talk about different topic areas. They provide exactly what you need to know and how to go about it, everything was so relevant and useful. You get the recording and slides each week, so you can go back through it at a later date. The speakers and Welsh ICE staff are fab, as were the location and environment.
I cannot recommend this highly enough. I was a bit gutted as I couldn’t get to do my pitch, and attend the night out at the end due to being on holidays, so may attend again!
