Helping the Underdog Become the Top Dog With the right tools, knowledge and information, any student can succeed in today’s modern world. We make it happen!

Seventeen years ago, I was a foreigner lost in the middle of a busy airport in Chicago. On that day, I had a chance encounter with the person who would ultimately become my mentor and change my life forever. I want everyone to have the same chance to succeed that I did - and that’s why I started Upkey: to even the odds.

Upkey is the world’s first - and only - student career incubator.

We provide high school seniors and college students with fun, interesting, and engaging learning tracks to help them cultivate a marketable professional image, show off their grit and tenacity, and emphasize their potential. We’re here to level the playing field. If you share our vision for a more diverse, inclusive world where opportunities aren’t just limited to the privileged and every young person gets a chance to shine, we want to hear from you.

Always looking forward,

Amir Badr, Founder & CEO
