YOUTH ENTREPRENEURSHIP is more than “starting early”. It’s about building skills, confidence, and networks that can shape a founder’s path for years to come. In this Hangout, we’ll explore what opportunities and challenges young people face when they want to learn by doing, test ideas, and step into the startup world, even before they have a full track record.

With perspectives from entrepreneurship programs and youth-led communities, we’ll unpack what these initiatives really offer, from training and mentorship to the soft skills that matter most, like communication, leadership, and resilience. We’ll also look at the longer-term impact on career paths, what the ecosystem gains when young talent gets involved early, and how founders, investors, and other senior profiles can support the next generation, not just with advice, but with real access and opportunities.
