Young Investor Club
Most entrepreneurs live in an echo chamber. Friends are polite. Advisors are gentle. Traditional investors nod and say "it's interesting" when they mean "I'm confused." If a 14-year-old doesn't understand your business in 30 seconds, the market won't either. Get the unfiltered truth from the toughest investors in the room. Test your pitch at the Young Investor Club

Founder Stories
Hear from entrepreneurs who have taken the challenge.
"The young people were curious and honest, and their feedback helped me see what I need to improve before pitching to customers and investors."
"Young investors spotted blind spots that traditional investors often miss. It made us rethink how we communicate our idea, not just for this room, but for future pitches."
"No one talked about entrepreneurship or financial literacy back then. If a project like this had existed, it would have made a huge difference. I’m so happy this initiative now exists, and I believe it should be part of every school’s curriculum."
