NextGen Cohort 2: Kickoff

You're Invited: The Official Kickoff of NextGen Founders Lab’s Cohort 2! The NextGen Founders Lab Kickoff is for the entire community behind our first cohort: students, parents, mentors, and ecosystem partners who believe in empowering the next generation of entrepreneurs. This event is about more than just starting a program. It’s about bringing everyone together in one room to celebrate what we’ve built, share the vision behind NextGen, and spark the connections that will carry students forward on their journey. Parents and students will meet one another and get to know the industry leaders and mentors who will be supporting their children in the cohort and beyond. Ecosystem partners will connect directly with families and show students that they are stepping into a powerful network that believes in their potential. The NextGen team will be there to welcome everyone and set the stage for the months ahead. It’s a morning designed for energy, inspiration, and connection. You’ll hear the story of why NextGen was created and what makes this venture studio different, followed by open time to mingle, meet new people, and experience the community that is forming around these students. By the end of the kickoff, every student and parent will know they are not stepping into this journey alone: they are part of a movement where ambitious young people learn by building, and where the ecosystem around them is ready to help them succeed.
