More than 6,000 aspiring entrepreneurs have been reached through the SEP’s world-class programming since 2007. Each year, an additional 600 to 800 high school students participate in our series of trainings and competitions. And SEP participation isn’t passive. The SEP inspires action. Action is often the dividing line between entrepreneurs and “wantrepreneurs.” SEP programming serves as a conduit for student startups, providing the support network and lean-startup methodology to leverage their limited resources and to bootstrap their way into business.
