A Real Entrepreneurship Experience — Not Another Presentation
The Young Founder Lab is a live, interactive virtual entrepreneurship session powered by Coach Kingsley. Students do not simply listen to someone talk about entrepreneurship.
What Students Will Do
Six moves that take a student from “I don't have an idea” to a founder starting point they can actually test.
Students think about interests, strengths, people, problems, and frustrations.
Learn why businesses begin with real people and real problems — not logos.
See how Coach Kingsley teaches, questions, and challenges assumptions without doing the thinking for the student.
Students use the existing public Try Coach Kingsley experience themselves.
Students leave with a simple founder hypothesis — their Founder Starting Point.
Students learn how a business moves from idea → customer → validation → offer → MVP → pricing → marketing → sales → pitch → launch.
A 45-minute Lab starts a founder journey — it does not build an entire business.

Free Means Free
There is no requirement for your organization to purchase Coach Kingsley, Founder Track, or Partner Access in order to host a Young Founder Lab. The Lab is designed to introduce young people to entrepreneurship and let families experience Coach Kingsley for themselves.
After the session, interested families may choose to continue independently through Founder Track. Organizations interested in deeper collaboration can explore Partner Access separately.
Built for Organizations That Serve Young People

A starting hypothesis — not a finished, validated, or launched business.
