I mentor high school entrepreneurs through LaunchX, a selective summer program founded at MIT where students launch real startups in just a few weeks. It’s not just about building a business—it’s about building an entrepreneurial mindset. I help guide students from idea to launch, supporting them as they test their MVPs, validate their markets, and make their first sales. It’s intense, fast-paced, and deeply rewarding. Watching young innovators grow into confident problem-solvers is what it’s all about.
