LaunchX is the top high school entrepreneurship summer program, equipping high school students with the skills and mindset to launch a real company. Students are trained with the skills and innovative thinking to gain real traction through an actual product offering and sales, laying the foundation for a successful business. Join a highly-curated group of promising young entrepreneurs from around the globe for an intense summer to take a startup from idea to execution and impact.
LaunchX isn't a business plan competition - students start real companies. These startups are driven by using the design thinking process to discover innovative opportunities, backed by extensive market research, multiple iterations of prototypes and user testing, and gaining traction through getting real customers and partnerships. Our curriculum leverages the most innovative entrepreneurial teachings from MIT and Harvard faculty to optimize your chances of startup success. Students work on a co-founder team of like-minded peers, stretching you beyond your limits throughout the entrepreneurial process to launch a real startup.
