At Entrepreneur Week, YEBW’s third-year program, help high school students develop business concepts and pitches. Students spend one week molding an idea into a potential investment opportunity.
Most students enrolled in Entrepreneur Week have a baseline understanding of business and completed other YEBW programs: Business Week and Investing Week.
This highly selective volunteer role is a one or two-day commitment. Depending on expertise and engagement, serve on any of the following days:
Monday: Ideation
Tuesday: Value Proposition
Wednesday: Brand & Creative
Thursday: Market & Customers
Friday: Pitch
The ideal Startup Advisor has:
- Started a company
- Experience running businesses
- A background in brand development, creative directing, marketing, sales, business development or lead generation
- Served as an investor or venture capitalist (preferred, not required)
- Strong public speaking or presentation skills
- Creative thinking and an entrepreneurial mindset
