STEM Entrepreneurship
Three-Week Summer Business Program
Featured in The Boston Globe – What I Did This Summer: Started A Company
Many of the world’s greatest Tech companies, including Dell, Apple, Facebook, and Microsoft were founded by kids not much older than the teens who come to our programs. The Boston Leadership Institute, one of the top-named providers of STEM programs for high-achieving teens, is the perfect place to begin your future in STEM entrepreneurship.
The Boston Leadership Institute’s STEM Entrepreneurship hands-on program covers what it takes to start a new business in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics. Students generate innovative and forward-thinking product ideas, explore viable opportunities and markets, and learn to write a sales pitch and business plan. After they master the stages of pursuing the business idea, students learn about different ways to raise capital and manage the finances of a fledgling business.
This program focuses on creating a start-up company and building a broader understanding and skillset in areas such as presentation training and industry and business analysis. Our instructor will introduce the Sunflower Model to detail the stages of building a start-up company using a core, petal, and stem analogy.
Applications are open for Summer 2023:
Research & Business Plan Development
Students generate innovative product ideas, explore viable opportunities and markets, and learn to build a sales pitch deck and business plan. They will also learn how to analyze an industry and company using SWOT and Porters Five Forces, learn different methodologies to value private and public companies, analyze real-life entrepreneurial stories, train using Toastmasters techniques, and present their start-up ideas in a Shark Tank format.

“The prestigious Boston Leadership Institute’s STEM Entrepreneurship program offers a three week intensive [program] at Simmons College, introducing students to leaders around the city, with speakers from companies like Vertex Pharmaceuticals and Staples. Students come from around the world, and go on to colleges like MIT and Harvard.”
