“Having participated in entrepreneurship programs and classes in college, I’ve experienced the transformation that occurs through entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is a mindset that unleashes newfound senses of creativity, ambition, and adaptability. I wish for as many people as possible to experience this so they too are empowered to make a positive difference in the world through entrepreneurship.”

It is so much more than just learning how to start a business - it’s about developing new skills, broadening your perspective, and learning to think outside the box. 3DS programs open doors for young entrepreneurs to begin their journey from where they are right now.”
