EC Launch Kit is a turnkey system for launching an Entrepreneurs Club at your school, built by students, for students. Curriculum, operating manual, and mentorship included.
Entrepreneurs Club (EC) is a technology entrepreneurship program for high school students, founded in 2014 and based in the Sacramento region of California. Students build real businesses rather than simulations, working through 8 training modules over 10 weeks and competing in the Entrepreneurs Club Venture Challenge (ECVC).
The 5th Annual Entrepreneurs Club Venture Challenge takes place March/April 2027 in Sacramento, CA, with $10,000 in cash awards. Teams of 2-4 high school students apply online by Spring 2027. Since 2014, EC has reached 500+ students across 30+ high schools, with 75+ teams having competed. In 2026, 39 teams from 20 schools competed in front of 462 attendees.
The EC Launch Kit is everything a school needs to start its own Entrepreneurs Club chapter: an operating manual, the 8 training modules, training presentations, and mentorship from EC.
A chapter works through the curriculum in 10 weeks. The competition season runs fall through the spring showcase, so a club that starts in the fall has its teams ready for the Venture Challenge in the spring.
The Launch Kit is built for students to run with an adult sponsor rather than for a teacher to deliver as a class.
