Build a revenue-generating startup this summer!
Build your own revenue-generating startup – even if you’re not entrepreneurial!
Learn what it takes to become an entrepreneur – by actually doing it.
BETA Camp is a 4-week entrepreneurship program designed for ambitious high school students. Students develop a leadership mindset and solve real-world problems by building a revenue-generating startup from scratch, working alongside industry pros and seasoned entrepreneurs.

Textbook learning can only take you so far. To race ahead of the curve, teens need skills that go beyond the classroom — confident communication, dynamic leadership, collaborative teamwork, and an understanding of the business world.

- Learn to strategize and sell with best practices for outreach, marketing funnels, viral content creation, and negotiation.
