Founder in the Making- Entreprenurship

About the Course

Every successful business started with someone who saw a problem and decided to solve it. Founder in the Making is an 8-weekend entrepreneurship program that teaches school students how to think, build, and pitch like a founder — by actually doing it. Structured like a mini-accelerator, every weekend you make something real: a customer interview, a business model, a prototype, a financial model, a pitch deck. By Pitch Day, you'll present a complete, tested venture concept — grounded, considered, and entirely your own.

You Will be Able to Know:

• How to identify real problems worth solving through observation and structured customer interviews

• How to generate, evaluate, and select the right business idea using proven frameworks

• How to map out a complete business model using the Business Model Canvas

• How to build and test a Minimum Viable Product — physical, digital, or service-based

• How to price a product, calculate unit economics, and build a 3-month financial projection

• How to design a First Customer Plan and create marketing content that actually reaches people

• How to craft and deliver a compelling 5-minute venture pitch to a live panel

Prerequisites:

• No business or commerce background required

• An open mind and willingness to talk to real people (customer interviews are part of the course)

• Basic familiarity with Google Sheets is helpful but not necessary

Who Is This Course For?

• School students (Std. 9–12) who want to build something of their own before college

• Students with ideas who don't know how to evaluate or develop them further

• Students preparing college applications that require a project, portfolio, or initiative essay

• Future Commerce, Economics, or BBA students who want real founder exposure first
