Overview

About this course

A hands-on introduction to entrepreneurship for young people. Instead of worksheets about business, kids spot a real problem, design a simple product or service, figure out what it should cost, and pitch it to a panel on the final day. The group is kept deliberately small so every child gets real coaching, not a seat in a crowd — and leaves with something they actually built.

Skills they’ll build

  • Idea generation
  • Prototyping
  • Basic budgeting
  • Public pitching
  • Teamwork

Questions

What people usually ask.

Can't find your answer? Ask us and a person will get back to you.

How does the application process work?
You complete the quiz, submit a short application, and we review it within 48 hours. If it is a good fit, we confirm your spot. If not, we will tell you why.
Can I defer my spot if something comes up?
Yes. Speak to us before the programme begins. We handle deferments on a case-by-case basis and will work with you wherever possible.
Is this worth the investment?
We do not make that claim on your behalf. The Results page shows outcomes. You decide.
What if I fall behind during the programme?
That is exactly what the small class size is for. Your instructor notices before you do. You will not disappear into a cohort of thirty.
Is this only in-person?
Yes. Deliberately. The quality of learning we deliver requires physical presence, focused sessions, and no hiding behind a muted camera.
Why is the class size so small?
Eight students is not a constraint — it is the product. Every student gets direct instructor time, real feedback, and the space to ask what larger classes make awkward.

Their first pitch starts with one session.

Tell us what suits you and we’ll let you know when the next group opens.
