BETA Camp is a virtual entrepreneurship boot camp where teens 13-18 build revenue-generating startups. The program is taught by world-class instructors, industry professionals, and entrepreneurs from companies like Google, Apple, IKEA, Meta, Doordash, and Mckinsey. Several alumni leave the programs with thousands in revenue and over the next months have raised 150k-1.5M in seed funding.
Students walk away from the program with:
1. A startup with real customers and revenue
On demo day, our top-performing teams made over $1000 of revenue after just one week of launching their product. There's nothing that will stand out more in college applications and to future employers than real execution and results!
2. Connections to internships
Since our whole program is taught by industry professionals, entrepreneurs, and CEOs - in every workshop you have the opportunity to catch a person's eye that can land you an internship. Our students have landed internships through BETA Camp at global firms based in Amsterdam, China, Canada, Australia, and the US at companies.
3. Lifelong friends from around the world
Work on a team with the top students from across North America! Break out of your community and broaden your horizons by learning about careers and opportunities you didn't know you didn't know!
HOW DOES BETA CAMP WORK?
