This week, the 52nd edition of Above & Beyond Hangout brought the community together to discuss youth entrepreneurship and the role that programs, communities, and support networks play in helping young people take their first steps into the startup ecosystem.
The conversation featured insights from Diogo Forte, Gabriela Caetano, and Pierre Gein, moderated by José Maria Archer.
A timely discussion on how to create pathways for the next generation of founders, innovators, and ecosystem builders.
Building the Next Generation of Entrepreneurs
This edition explored how young people can engage with entrepreneurship early and why that matters for the ecosystem as a whole.
🎙️ Throughout the discussion, speakers highlighted the value of giving young talent opportunities to experiment, build connections, and learn through experience.
Whether through programs, communities, mentorship, or hands-on projects, early exposure helps turn curiosity into action and ideas into opportunities.
One key takeaway was that entrepreneurship is about more than building a company. It is also about developing the skills, mindset, and confidence needed to create impact.
