Entrepreneurial Start-Up Launchpad
Program
Helping Gen Z and Millennials build personal brands and profitable businesses in real-time.
4-year universities are no longer the only option for the next generation looking to explore entrepreneurship, personal branding, and social media marketing.
What if instead of going hundreds of thousands of dollars into debt, you could spend a fraction of that building a profitable business you love… in real-time?
You can. That’s what the Entrepreneurial Start Up Launchpad is all about.
Inside our 6-month program, we’ll teach you how to build and scale your own business, create a personal brand and gain social media exposure across platforms responsibly, and develop the skills required to stay profitable.
By the end, you’ll have dialed in your product or offer, go-to-market strategy, and the ins and outs of what it takes to run a business in today’s online world.
What does it mean to take the Entrepreneurial Start-Up Launchpad with us?
Our program teaches you the business fundamentals you need (while skipping the fluff and the massive debt) to start and scale a marketing business or leverage your personal brand.
If you’ve ever felt unsure about the next step in your career (or wanted to explore your own entrepreneurial venture) if…
You want to put your creativity and innovative ideas into ACTION...
You prefer hands-on learning versus learning in the classroom…
You want to take a break from the classroom to develop hands-on entrepreneurial skills (and maybe consider college down the road)...
You want to build a business in real time while you learn what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur
This might be for you.
After building successful corporate careers and 8-figure businesses, we realized something…
College didn’t totally prepare us for working in real-world business. Sure, we made friends and had some great experiences. And yes, we learned lots of important things that helped us grow professionally…
But EVERYTHING we needed to know about success
in the business world, we learned in the real world.
So we decided to shake things up.
The Entrepreneurial Start-Up Launchpad is a revolutionary business incubator for 16-30 year-olds who are ready to build legitimate businesses and learn what it takes to get them profitable (and maintain profitability in a constantly-changing digital landscape).
