The experience

What Your Young Founder Will Actually Do

What if a business idea didn't have to start with a logo, product, or perfect plan?

In this free 45-minute Young Founder Lab, students ages 12–18 learn how entrepreneurs begin by noticing real people, real problems, and opportunities worth exploring.

No business idea is required.
Young founders can arrive with an idea, several ideas, or simply curiosity.

During the Lab, they will learn how to:

  • notice problems and opportunities
  • think about who they could help
  • identify a possible problem worth exploring
  • experience Coach Kingsley coaching a business idea
  • try Coach Kingsley themselves
  • leave with a Founder Starting Point and a clear next move

Parents and guardians are welcome to attend.

This event is free. Registration is required.

Notice an opportunity

Interests, strengths, frustrations — where real business ideas actually come from.

Think like a founder

Businesses start with a specific person and a real problem, not a logo.

Watch Coach Kingsley work

See coaching that questions assumptions instead of handing over answers.

Try Coach Kingsley

Every young founder works with Coach Kingsley themselves during the Lab.

Leave with a starting point

A simple founder hypothesis in their own words.

Know the next move

One concrete validation step to take in the week after the Lab.
