The FIRSTEntrepreneurshipAcademy for Kids
Being an entrepreneur means more
than simply starting your own business.
Entrepreneurs are able to anticipate
needs, innovate, create and take
calculated risks in order to succeed.
When kids are exposed to
entrepreneurial thinking, a profound
change takes place. They learn to think
their ability to tackle challenges.
Our collective mission is to help young
people discover their passions and use
technology to turn their ideas into
products or services that can change the
world.
VentureLab is an academy that
introduces kids to entrepreneurship and provides 21st century
skills that preparestudents for leadership
in the rapidly shifting job market.

From Our FounderI get excited as each summer approaches,
because that means that kids are about
to get a whole new level of education that
is not currently taught in schools today.
We believe that encouraging children
to learn about entrepreneurship helps
them gain awareness of their future-and
that they can shape and forge their own
unique path forward. We are simply the
guides and mentors that help them turn
their passions into real-world careers.
Thank you for allowing us the opportunity
to work with your children-we promise to
do everything we can to make your child’s
experience life changing, and one that
will impact them for the rest of their lives.
