Textbook learning can only take you so far. To race ahead of the curve, teens need skills that go beyond the classroom — confident communication, dynamic leadership, collaborative teamwork, and an understanding of the business world.

  • Understand entrepreneurship fundamentals, tech trends, industry sectors, and business models.
  • Create and test a valid business idea using Design Thinking, multiple ideation methods, and market research
  • Master the tactical skills of entrepreneurship — copywriting, handling rejection, sales, pitching your idea, and leveraging tech. 
  • Build a Minimum Viable Product, handle data, and build automated workflows
  • Learn to strategize and sell with best practices for outreach, marketing funnels, viral content creation, and negotiation. 
  • Learn pitching, public speaking, and planning for future growth. BETA Camp culminates in Demo Day where you share your business and get feedback from real-world VCs.
