Wake Forest Entrepreneurs Academy

Wake Forest Entrepreneurs Academy

The Wake Forest Entrepreneurs Academy trains students on every aspect of entrepreneurship. Our team of seasoned experts covers topics and skills including: creativity; teamwork; public speaking; idea generation; opportunity analysis; market research; design thinking; prototyping; business modeling; and pitching.

Two cohorts, one for rising 7th-9th graders and one for rising 10th-12th graders, make up the sessions. Not only do students learn invaluable information, but they also participate in fun, hands-on activities and make new, like-minded friends.

Upon completion of the Academy, selected students will be invited to make pitches to a panel of judges. These judges will decide which ideas will be awarded seed money so participants can make their businesses a reality.
