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.
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.
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 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".

Prequel is a stepping stone towards this thought process.”
