Got a great green business idea, but no money to make it a reality? Not a problem.

We are offering free admission to our two-day, intensive workshop for aspiring entrepreneurs, small business owners and managers looking to join the burgeoning green economy on August 21-22 in San Francisco.

Led by Scott Cooney, GBO founder and author of Build a Green Small Business (McGraw-Hill, 2008), our Social Entrepreneur Boot Camp will provide attendees with the resources, education and tools necessary to incorporate and profit from sustainability strategy, whether you are an aspiring entrepreneur with an idea or an established veteran looking to grow.

Workshop attendees will also receive a one-year premium membership to GreenBusinessOwner.com, one round of revisions on the business plan created at the workshop, and a flash drive loaded with templates, tools and resources developed by GBO staff.

We are giving away a spot at the Boot Camp (a $199 value) to one aspiring social entrepreneur with a clear vision, a solid idea and demonstrated financial need.

To enter: Submit a 1-page PDF describing your business idea; how it is green and/or what social issue it's addressing; your location; your resources and challenges around your financial situation; your start-up needs; and what you're hoping to get out of the Boot Camp.

Email entries to Scott Cooney at scott@greenbusinessowner.com by July 22nd. A winner will be selected by July 30th.
