Young Founders Lab offers a virtual high-school entrepreneurship program for students in grades 9–12. Students build startups or nonprofits with mentor support and pitch their work at a demo day. No prior entrepreneurship experience is required, and students retain ownership of their ventures.
The high-school Group Program is described as a three-week intensive; the homepage advertises 30 live workshop hours, while the FAQ describes a three-hours-per-day commitment. Students may join with an existing team or be matched with peers. Current fixed group dates and application cutoffs are unconfirmed. The FAQ still lists June 9–29 and August 4–24, 2025, while About retains a Summer 2026 application notice. The two Summer 2026 catalog cohorts are retained as history without invented exact dates.
The separate Individual Program has a flexible, explicitly rolling start date in the FAQ; this does not make group admissions rolling. The separate ten-week Pitch Competition Prep Program has only an older, ambiguously worded November–January 2026 schedule in the FAQ, which does not establish a new cycle. The former /programs URL now leads to Junior Innovator, a different middle-school program.
Checked November 4, 2026 using the high-school program homepage and application process, high-school FAQ, and About page. Next group dates and deadlines remain unresolved.
