The STARTedUP Foundation

Connecting classrooms to the real world.

Join the Innovation Accelerator

We empower teachers and students to see problems as opportunities.

Our Innovation Accelerator, equips teachers with a national network, peer-to-peer connectivity, curriculum, tools, and resources to inspire their students to address real-world problems.

Through our workshops, mentorship, and ongoing support, we help educators guide students in creating impactful, real world solutions.

We also host the STARTedUP Challenge, The most elite high school pitch competition in the country, giving students a platform to bring their concepts to life. By fostering an entrepreneurial mindset, we’re turning schools into innovation hubs, one classroom at a time.
