Want to be your own boss?
We’re here to help with the three things every entrepreneur needs for success: capital to purchase equipment, coaching to shorten the learning curve, and customers to grow your business!
Would you like the opportunity to work smart, earning as much in one Saturday per week as your friends make working several evenings after school? Would you like to grow yourself and your businesses as a member of the Student Startup Leadership Academy? The journey starts with one easy sign-up.
Owning a business doesn’t mean your business has to own you. You don’t need to take this road alone - our dozens of student business owners and coaches are here to support your success now and in the future. Sound easy? Guess again. This will be some of the hardest work you’ve ever done, but your future self will thank you for it!
Internships are Key to Success in any Career
Whether it’s student teachers, medical residents, accounting interns, or apprenticeships for the skilled trades, the professionals in every career field know that you’re better off getting hands-on experience before jumping in with both feet. We believe that one reason 80% of entrepreneurs fail is because they never had an internship as a business owner. Students - don’t let that be you! Before chasing your million-dollar idea, practice your business ownership skills with one of our simple “starter businesses” that give you the flexibility to focus on school and put serious cash in your pocket to prepare for your future.
At the end of the day, taking ownership of your future is much more important than taking ownership of a business. Successful adults follow the same principles as successful entrepreneurs: they think long-term, work hard and smart to solve problems for others, invest their time and money wisely, and pursue win-win relationships built on trust. Student Startup is the internship for entrepreneurs - not just for future business owners, but for any student who wants to use their teen years as an internship for adulthood.
Which Program is right for you?
Hundreds of homeowners are looking to hire high-character students to mow their lawns, but don't know where to find them. That's where we come in, connecting certified student business owners with caring clients.
Our specialized lawn care business coaches help students go further, faster. Sure, you could eventually figure out the tricks for a profitable business on your own, but we believe life is too short to make all your own mistakes. Average earnings for a lawn care business owner are $25+ per hour. Many earn much more.
Need help purchasing a lawn mower? We have investment dollars you can apply for to help.
Want to serve the elderly with free mowing? After mowing 50 yards for free with our national partner, Raising Men and Women Lawn Care, you are eligible for a free mower, blower, and trimmer. If interested, select “RMLC” in the sign-up below. Learn more at WeAreRaisingMen.com.
Love playing with kids? Interested in working in a daycare or school one day? Perhaps you already babysit for siblings and neighbors, but want more customers? Then becoming a Student Sitter with Student Startup is the perfect fit for you!
Not only do you get paid to play, but also work hours are flexible and student friendly (evenings, weekends, school breaks). Being a part of our program connects you with a network of families and small groups that need quality childcare. We also have babysitters that can sub for you when needed!
The Student Sitters program helps train, mentor, and provide business support to students in all aspects of childcare. Consider joining Student Sitters today - we would love to come alongside and support your babysitting business goals!
