What Parents Are Saying

"In just 8 weeks, our daughter gained confidence and real-world skills. She talked to customers, built a prototype, and pitched on stage. Watching her present to judges was a proud parent moment. We even wished there was a cohort for adults!"

Entrepreneurship is the engine that drives our country’s growth — it creates jobs, sparks innovation, and pushes the world forward.

 

At Launchpad Juniors, we’re giving middle and high school students the tools to identify problems, build real solutions, and launch their own businesses.

 

We’re not just teaching them to think like entrepreneurs — we’re training them to act, create, and lead. The skills they gain today will fuel their future, shaping the economy and creating opportunities for generations to come.
