VentureLab is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that believes entrepreneurship is for everyone. We envision a world where every child, regardless of gender, race, or economic status, is empowered to fully participate in creating the future through entrepreneurial and STEM education. The mission of VentureLab is to create the next generation of diverse innovators and changemakers by making entrepreneurial education accessible to all youth. VentureLab was founded by a Latina entrepreneur to give kids, especially girls and underrepresented populations, the skills they need to reach their full potential. VentureLab provides programming for K-12, with a particular focus on middle school-aged students, recognizing the vital importance of the middle school years in shaping the future of our nation’s youth. We equip youth and educators with the entrepreneurial mindsets and skills they need to thrive. Since 2018, VentureLab has provided capacity building, custom curricular and resource development, training and support, consultation, and subject matter expertise in entrepreneurial K-12 education, reaching over one million students, 30,000 educators, 5,000 schools/organizations in over 155 countries.
