Most business programs ask you to read outdated textbooks and study corporate case studies. We don't. It's not a simulation. Not a business plan competition.
Starbound Founders' Foundry is an elite, 36-week entrepreneurship program for high school innovators. Powered by AI-native workflows, you'll find a problem, talk to real customers, build real products, earn real revenue, and pitch to active venture capitalists.
Most "business programs" are participation events. We built the one we wish existed.
36 weeks. Four phases. One venture you actually built.
You don't need another class. You need a real venture, a real customer, and a mentor who holds you accountable. That's what 36 weeks here looks like.

Admission to Starbound Founders is highly selective. We look for high school students (grades 9–12) who value proactive execution over theoretical grading. No prior coding or business background required — only a relentless desire to solve real-world problems.
