Four connected programs — mentorship, training, exposure, and technology — that take a young person from idea to execution.
We pair youth with experienced entrepreneurs for consistent, real mentorship — not a one-time talk, but an ongoing relationship focused on their specific goals.
A forward-thinking curriculum covering the skills, knowledge, and network young founders need to move from an idea to something real.
Time in real business environments, plus virtual exposure opportunities that let participants connect with entrepreneurs, sit in on live business operations, and observe how deals get made remotely — no location required.
Computers, software, and AI-powered tools provided directly to participants — used for research, drafting business plans, practicing pitches, and getting real-time feedback, funded through our Capital & Technology campaign.
We're expanding two of our core programs with AI technology and virtual exposure, so participants aren't limited by location or by what tools they have at home.
Participants use AI tools alongside their human mentors — for research, refining business plans, practicing pitches, and getting fast, private feedback between mentorship sessions.
Live video sessions, virtual shadowing, and remote pitch practice with entrepreneurs and sponsors — real exposure to how businesses actually run, without needing to travel.
Our sponsors and partners are invited to youth pitch events, where participants present real business ideas to a room of mentors, sponsors, and community leaders — the exposure piece, in action.
