Creating Entrepreneurial Opportunities

How does Boom KY accomplish this?

Boom KY currently partners with six schools throughout Kentucky to provide daily curriculum for entrepreneurial and code classes at the high school level. The teams come together to launch a start-up. We guide these groups to create a minimum viable product (MVP) through training in sales, marketing, branding, legal, and problem-solving activities on our proprietary platform.

What is a minimum viable product, you may ask? MVP is a standard version of the product that meets the requirements for use but can be developed further in the future- specifically after customer reviews. This is a prime example of what students would learn in our entrepreneurial class. At the end of the year the teams will compete for fellowships at the Young Entrepreneur Show.
