Future Founders Program

"You don't choose your passions, your passions choose you"

- Jeff Bezos

It takes a spark of an idea to unleash a hidden passion

Is your child full of creative ideas? Our Future Founders Program is for them.

Created for students aged 8–12, this fun and flexible online learning experience introduces young minds to entrepreneurial thinking, builds confidence, and helps them bring their ideas to life.

​

As part of the program, students will have the exciting opportunity to pitch their idea at our virtual ‘Shark Tank’ event in March 2026.
Outstanding pitches may then be invited to progress to the Young Eyes Competition (completely optional), giving students an additional opportunity to showcase their ideas.
