About the Event
Join us in celebrating 10 years of creating the next generation of diverse innovators and changemakers by making entrepreneurship education accessible to all.
VentureLab is doing it entrepreneurship style! Ready, Set, Startup! is a community celebration that will allow you to connect with the startup community while raising funds to provide all children access to their fullest potential, changing the face of entrepreneurship and building a more diverse pipeline for our future.
Bring your competitive spirit and be prepared for some Shark Tank-style fun with celebrity panelists. Your innovative idea will win “seed funding” that benefits youth entrepreneurship education. Leave with the potential to be honored with the coveted title of “Innovator of the Year”!
Not leaping to pitch on the big stage? No problem. You’ll have a blast voting for and cheering on your favorite ideas! In addition to the interactive pitch game and networking, there will be delicious food, tasty drinks, and a live and silent auction.

About VentureLab
VentureLab envisions a world where every child, regardless of gender, race or economic status, is empowered to fully participate in creating the future through entrepreneurial and STEM education.
The mission of VentureLab is to create the next generation of diverse innovators and changemakers by making entrepreneurship education accessible to ALL youth.
At VentureLab, we’re creating the next generation of creative and skilled workers. That’s why we intentionally design programs where students can actually practice the kind of innovation that entrepreneurs do to bring their creative ideas to life, and learn how to innovate in any career they may choose.
We believe everyone is an entrepreneur! Entrepreneurship isn’t just about starting companies; it is a skillset and a way of thinking. The core of entrepreneurship is building a solution to a problem. It involves identifying needs, brainstorming creative solutions, having empathy for customer’s needs, innovating, and taking calculated risks.
VentureLab is reaching over 630,000 students, educators, and caregivers in 155+ countries and all 50 US States and our vision is to be the global leader in youth entrepreneurship education.
We provide scholarships for schools wanting to add entrepreneurship and innovation education, training and coaching for teachers, business models/budgeting tools, and mentoring and materials for students without access to help change the face of entrepreneurship.
