Build an AI-powered startup idea and pitch it like a founder — finishing with a complete founder-style portfolio (prototype, market research, financial model, and pitch deck), not just theory.
The AI Startup Lab is a live, online 6-week program where students in grades 8–12 build an AI-powered startup from the ground up — and pitch it like a founder. Across six 2-hour mentor-led sessions, students move from a founder mindset and problem discovery through customer and competitor research, AI product design and MVP planning, prototyping and branding, business models and financials, and finally a polished pitch deck and demo. Every week produces a real deliverable, so students finish with a complete AI Startup Pitch Portfolio — concept, market research, prototype, business and financial model, and a founder-style pitch.
Sessions are taught in small groups (1–4 students) by mentors with hands-on startup, product, and business experience — entrepreneurs, product managers, MBAs, and innovation professionals. No business or coding experience is required; students just need comfort with basic digital tools like Google Docs, Slides, and Canva, and they use AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Canva, and no-code tools) the way real founders do. Tuition is $999 and includes weekly mentor feedback, AI tool access, and a certificate of completion. It's ideal for students interested in entrepreneurship, AI, business, product design, leadership, or innovation — and a standout portfolio project for college applications.
Each weekly 2-hour live session is project-driven — short teaching and real examples, then guided work that moves the student's startup forward, with weekly mentor feedback on every deliverable.
Students in grades 8–12 interested in entrepreneurship, AI, business, product design, leadership, or innovation — and anyone who wants a standout portfolio project for college applications. No business or coding experience required.
