Internet entrepreneurship

In the rapidly changing world, the boundaries between work and entrepreneurship are washed away. Creating new products becomes easier, so more people combine this with the main work. The ability to build a business becomes a basic skill necessary for success.

Internet entrepreneurship involves creation of a product or service directly on the Internet. This allows entering markets of all sizes: fr om local to global. In addition, the growth of online technologies is constantly opening new opportunities for implementing the most daring business ideas.

The earlier a young man realizes that he can create and launch his own project, the sooner he will become successful in this. There are many supporting programs for adult entrepreneurs, but we want to inspire schoolkids.

90% of startups are closed in the first 3 years - mainly because of the illusions of the creators, that their ideas are needed by people and will pay off. Based on our own experience of ups and downs, we will show tools and methods that will help the kids to be among the successful 10%.

To master the course, special knowledge is not needed. Everything is simple and clear.

The course is recommended for each child - regardless of whether he will be engaged in business or not. Idea generation, ability to distinguish facts fr om assumptions, hypotheses test, plan, analyze, distribute, simplify tasks, make presentations - all these are called soft skills and are used in a variety of domestic and professional spheres.
