Invest in the Next Generation of Innovators

At BizWorld, we’re not just teaching business—we’re equipping the next generation with the resources to innovate, lead, and make an impact.

What is the YES! Program?

The YES! (Young Entrepreneur Success) Program is a fully virtual accelerator for youth-led startups—offered free of charge. It equips aspiring entrepreneurs aged 16–22 with the knowledge, network, and capital to launch and grow real businesses.

Each year, BizWorld carefully selects 10 youth-led companies for each of two YES! Program cohorts—chosen from hundreds of applicants. These promising young entrepreneurs (ages 16–22) embark on a 12-week journey to turn bold ideas into real, scalable businesses.

Through hands-on workshops, expert dedicated coaching, and a powerful peer network, participants build investor-ready business plans and sharpen their pitches. The program culminates in Pitch Day, where finalists are chosen to advance to Demo Day—a high-stakes event where they compete for up to $30,000 in seed funding to launch or scale their ventures.

Why It Matters

These young founders aren’t waiting for opportunity—they’re creating it. With your support, we can:

Grow Seed Funding — Help us invest more in promising ventures at Demo Day. In 2024, we stretched $30K across five incredible companies. Imagine what’s possible with more.
Expand Access — Provide crucial educational tools and real-world learning experiences to increased numbers of future business leaders.
Deepen Mentorship — Connect young entrepreneurs with seasoned leaders for personalized guidance.

Your donation isn’t just a gift—it’s fuel—a catalyst for courage, innovation, and lasting impact.
