Stanford ASES Launchpad is a two-day event for high school students across the country to explore the fundamentals of entrepreneurship. This year, our in-person program explores the theme of Social Good in San Francisco. In teams, you will create socially impactful ideas to tackle various issues in San Francisco—such as food security, transportation, and housing—and we’ll provide you with the skills to turn that idea into a viable prototype and pitch. We have an itinerary full of exciting speakers, career workshops, and college panels. The event culminates in a final pitch competition, where teams have the opportunity to present their solutions and receive personalized feedback from real Stanford student founders. Launchpad is completely free for participants and no prior experience is required — in fact, we especially encourage those without any entrepreneurship experience to apply! At ASES, we believe that every individual has the potential to be an entrepreneur, and you’ll come out of Launchpad equipped with the skills to realize this potential.
