The best way to learn anything is through ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Exposure
As kids explore different topics, careers, and opportunities for what to build, they will consume content with the purpose of finding an interest instead of memorizing figures and facts.
Real World Action
Throughout history, young people have achieved remarkable things because they started creating in the real world instead of only immersing themselves in abstract theory and textbooks.
Skills That Matter
School is about acquiring knowledge. Building a startup is about converting that knowledge into a tangible skill. By building, kids learn writing, psychology, math & finance, persuasion, critical thinking and so much more.
We take teens from potential to progress.
We believe that society underestimates what ambitious teens can achieve.
Starting now, teens can find what they're passionate about and accelerate their careers by getting hands-on experience - instead of waiting to "grow up".
Your kid is AMAZING We help them unleash their potential

Prequel is a stepping stone towards this thought process.”
