About VentureLab

VentureLab was founded in 2013 to teach kids, and girls in particular, to dare boldly and grow their innate creativity in order to identify and anticipate diverse societal needs, and think entrepreneurially in whichever field they pursue.

We began by teaching girls simple entrepreneurial steps: we encouraged them to come up with their own problem to solve, create a product, test its market, refine it, price it, and produce it. As we took dozens of girls through our program, we watched their confidence expand as they grew entrepreneurship and STEM skills. Now, we’re democratizing entrepreneurial education for all youth by offering open-access curriculum that can be used by anyone passionate about preparing the next generation of creative leaders.

We’re devoted to empowering educators, youth leaders, and parents with the tools needed to unlock student potential and prepare youth, especially girls, to thrive in our changing world. But we can’t do this work alone. You can help prepare our kids to create tomorrow’s opportunities and approach life with an entrepreneurial spirit. Passion mandatory. No previous experience necessary.
