WHERE YOUNG PEOPLE

CONNECT WITH LIKE-MINDED CHANGEMAKERS.
REIMAGINE THE WORLD.
CREATE THE FUTURE.

WE’RE DEDICATED TO MAKING TECH ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION ACCESSIBLE TO ALL TEENAGERS.

Our mission is to empower Generation Z founders to build world-changing ventures. We run top tier, Silicon Valley standard entrepreneurship programs - tailored specifically for youth founders.

We believe that by nurturing Gen Zs’ changemaker heartset, combined with digital-first innovation, it will unleash a future world that is inclusive, accessible, and sustainable.

Our flagship programme is the international Young Founders Summit - a global programme for 15 - 20 year old aspiring entrepreneurs from anywhere in Asia to convene, get entrepreneurship education, mentorship, networks, and funding to create impactful ventures. Young Founders Summit is supported by the National Youth Council of Singapore.

The Young Founders' Summit has been the most incredible place for me to nurture my passions and watch them come to life. I was constantly surrounded by motivated, like-minded individuals my age, all driven by a shared commitment to innovation and growth. Way past the bootcamp, I continued to receive invaluable opportunities that supported the growth of my startup—whether through connections with mentors and industry experts or by participating in international competitions. Overall, YFS will forever have a special place in my heart and I’m beyond grateful for the time i’ve spent here.
