One journey. Every stage.
From zero experience to confident founder. Every Y.E.S. program is the natural next step in a student's entrepreneurial journey.
Youth Entrepreneur Studio
The starting point for every founder. The Studio is where a student with zero experience builds their first business idea: online, at their own pace or alongside a live cohort. No jargon. No prerequisites. Just a student, an idea, and a clear path forward.
By the end, they have a business plan, a pitch, and the confidence to step onto a bigger stage: a Y.E.S. LIVE Pitch Day.
LIVE Pitch Days
The graduation moment. After completing the Studio, students step in front of real entrepreneurs at a LIVE Pitch Day: in person in host cities, or streamed online for founders who can't travel.
Compete for seed capital. Earn feedback from active investors. Celebrate with a community of founders who built something from nothing, just like you.
Youth Entrepreneur Summit
The flagship Y.E.S. experience. Four days at the Discovery Children's Museum in Las Vegas: workshops, expert speakers, and a Shark Tank-inspired finale where students pitch to real investors for real prize money.
June 8–11, 2026 · Discovery Children's Museum · 360 Promenade Place, Las Vegas, NV 89106
YES Accelerator
For founders who are ready for more. The Accelerator isn't given. It's earned. After proving themselves at the Summit or a LIVE Pitch Day, select students gain access to advanced coaching, real mentorship, and the tools to grow a genuine business.
This is where a business idea becomes a real company.
