Whether you are planning to enter the Miami Herald Business Plan Challenge or just want to refine your short business plan, The Miami Herald’s free Business Plan Bootcamp on Tuesday can help.

Melissa Krinzman, a veteran Business Plan Challenge judge and managing director of Venture Architects, will be leading a panel of experts who will give you advice on crafting a short business plan aimed at grabbing the attention of investors — or judges.

If you are entering the Challenge, we encourage you to bring your entry with you because the panel will critique critical sections of the short plan.

Panelists include:

•  Richard Ginsburg, co-founder of G3 Capital Partners, a mid-market and early stage investment company.

•  Steven McKean, founder and CEO of Acceller, a Miami-based tech company, and a Challenge judge.

•  Mike Tomas, CEO of Miami-based Bioheart, president of ASTRI Group and a Challenge judge.

Time, date, place: 6:30 p.m. Feb. 26, Miami Dade College, Wolfson Campus Auditorium, Room 1261, Building 1, 2nd floor. (Please note: There is no food or drink allowed in the auditorium, and no food will be served.)

To register: It’s free, but please register here.

Parking: Free parking at the MDC garage at 500 NE 2nd Avenue. It is important to note that the entrances are on NE 5th and 6th Streets.

You do not have to enter the Business Plan Challenge to attend our free boot camp, but we hope you will. The Challenge deadline is March 11. Find the rules and more information on MiamiHerald.com/challenge.
