Watch our alum’s pitch
This summer will mark our 5th cohort of the online Young Entrepreneurship Program.
The one-and-a-half-week program is virtual with a strong focus on personalized and individualized guidance (up to an 8:1 student-instructor ratio). With small class sizes, lessons will be viewed online and include engaging interviews and case studies with young entrepreneurs. During recitations, students will participate in live online group discussions led by KuriousMinds staff. Students will also have access to personalized coaching and support from the whole KuriousMinds team, including one-on-one check-ins at least once per week. Because students choose their own projects, each student’s experience in the program is unique to his or her interests and goals. KuriousMinds has helped students launch ventures ranging from AIoT companies and sneaker resellers to community-based non-profits and social movements. Students are encouraged to find something that sparks their curiosity and to use their passion as the basis for developing an entrepreneurial mindset.
At the end of the program, students will present their work and most importantly, their personal development. Students will also receive our recommendation letter if they decide to apply for the University of Pennsylvania Social Ventures Program for aspiring high school student entrepreneurs.
