some things our coworkers have learnt from building their startups ⭐️

A few things worth remembering when you’re building something from scratch.

Some are lessons you learn quickly, some take a few wrong turns, uncomfortable conversations and ideas that don’t quite work to figure out.

We see a lot of this happen in real time through our startup program Launchpad: people testing, changing direction, talking to customers and turning early ideas into something much more tangible.

Keep this somewhere for when you need it.

building cool things with cool people? kinda chic 💅

Imagine every student learning to experiment, iterate, and innovate ...not someday, but now! Teaching entrepreneurship early doesn’t just spark ideas; it grows real ventures and real confidence.

The data is in: when we teach entrepreneurship like we teach science, young people don’t just dream, they build. It’s time to make entrepreneurial thinking a core part of every learner’s toolkit.

The Case for Teaching Entrepreneurship Like We Teach Science A study confirms the value of teaching entrepreneurship in secondary school, and argues that entrepreneurship should be taught widely, not reserved for future business majors.
