Ashoka's Youth Venture

Ashoka's Catapult sources and develops the world's most promising young entrepreneurs through an intensive four-month incubator and two-month summer accelerator. Housed at Harvard, Stanford and University of Pennsylvania, the program provides select high school students with a comprehensive business curriculum, mentorships with corporate leaders and graduate students, and access to thought leaders in the technology, venture capital, and social entrepreneurship industries. In its inaugural year, Catapult joined 33 youth from 19 states and 4 countries to develop and scale 8 enterprises that have raised over $90K to date.
