VentureLab is a non-profit organization based in San Antonio, Texas. Founded in 2013, the organization focuses on empowering young people to become innovators and changemakers. VentureLab employs 14 individuals and generates annual revenue of $2.5 million. VentureLab develops free, open-access youth entrepreneurship curriculum designed for teachers, community leaders, parents, and anyone interested in fostering innovation in young minds. This curriculum aims to cultivate a visionary, creative, and resilient mindset in students, particularly girls, equipping them with the confidence and skills to turn their ideas into reality. The organization recognizes the increasing demand for STEM skills and the significant role startups play in job creation. However, VentureLab believes the traditional education system struggles to adequately equip students with the entrepreneurial thinking needed to thrive in this evolving landscape. They aim to challenge conventional educational paradigms to raise a generation of innovators and changemakers, particularly focusing on empowering young girls.
