About the 2024 Think Like an Entrepreneur Summer Academy 

The Think Like an Entrepreneur Summer Academy focuses on the development of soft skills - including fostering of an entrepreneurial mindset – and on the development of specific entrepreneurial knowledge and expertise. Regardless of intended major, we believe that all future business students, and the organizations that will eventually employ them, benefit from the type of creative mindset, hard work, and initiative that power startups. Check out how our high schoolers learn to think like an entrepreneur at the Academy, here.
