Redefining failure and encouraging a growth mindset is crucial in shaping our daughters’ path to success. By teaching girls that their brains can change, grow, and embrace challenges, we cultivate their confidence, persistence, and resilience. VentureLab aims to empower girls through entrepreneurial education, sparking their potential and equipping them to live impactful lives.
Our motivation to teach girls an entrepreneurial mindset and can-do skills is not only about gender equity, but our nation’s future. Our global leadership depends to a great extent on the ability of our entrepreneurs to create companies and jobs out of innovations in technology. That is the genius of our economy, but also its vulnerability. We cannot become complacent. We need new, young, courageous, growth-minded entrepreneurs—men and women—to start and build the businesses of the future.
At VentureLab, we strive to empower girls and kids of all backgrounds and circumstances (and the adults that teach, and love them) to think entrepreneurially and reimagine their own possibilities. Just as we are committed to sharing our knowledge, we are also committed to continuously innovating. That’s why I’m excited to share what VentureLab has accomplished…
We’re on a mission to create the next generation of diverse innovators and changemakers by making entrepreneurship education accessible to ALL youth.
