“I am so extremely pleased to have found such an amazing space for kids to learn about the tech world. As someone who is using but also learning it's difficult to teach your child things you aren't 100% confident in. Keep up the amazing work. You are making the future better and brighter for our kids!" - Renit, February 2017

"Our son just finished his first week of Startup Skool. When we asked him what he thought of it, he said it was 10/10 and way better than he expected. He’s talked all weekend about the “business” and website he created. He was so inspired that on Saturday he spent several hours building a website for his dad’s business as a birthday present. In one week our son was completely engaged in all aspects of the camp and on the last day we had tears in our eyes seeing how much he’d accomplished in the week and the depth of the connection he’d made to the leaders. Big thumbs up Startup Skool and a huge thank you!” - Kris, July 2016

“I have registered my son for the summer camp again this year. Last year he had a wonderful time and learned so much from your camp! This is the only one camp that he said he will definitely want to come back next year!" - Clara, May 2016

"Just wanted to let you know Alex absolutely loved your camp! I believe it is his favorite camp to date. He keeps asking me if he can join again. Alex told me he loved making money! Your camp has really sparked his interest in business and entrepreneurship. Thank you for creating this exciting camp for kids with real life applications In such a positive learning environment. He is very proud of his accomplishment and results but he would never have been able to experience this without your guidance. You did a great job in making learning fun!" - Christina, August 2015

"My son said it was the best camp he went to this summer!" - July, 2016

"Both my children loved it. They want to go again. I believe that it helped a couple females be less intimidated about the technical aspect of modern businesses. Madelyn was one of them. The program helps me supplement the influence I want on the children. Thank you." - Parent, July 2015
