Upstarts Academy

The UpStarts (previously Youth Entreprenuership Clinics – YEC) team is driven by real impact. We embrace new possibilities and challenging projects. Through rigorous research and experimentation, we continuously develop our programs. Creating entrepreneurial opportunities in global rural communities is what we aim for. We believe in youth empowerment, solving hard problems, and fine execution. We intend to help entrepreneurs to thrive. We nurture youth to develop both cognitive and non-cognitive skills through experiential learning. We incorporate the latest technology carefully designed to work with youth for humans. We are based in the center of the U.S. and have a solid team of specialists and supporters, offering a wide range of disciplines and global perspectives.
