Transcripts show grades. We show their greatness.

Leangap is specifically designed for high school students who are between the ages of 14 to 17 years of age.

Leangap accepts students of any school grade as long as they are between 14 and 17.

We welcome young entrepreneurs from every state in the United States, and anywhere in the world. We have international reach and inclusivity.

The program focuses on students who are currently in high school and have a strong passion for making an impact through entrepreneurship.

Unfortunately, it is not open to college students or any other adults.

Leangap® is the most execution-based entrepreneurship program for high school students. No other program offers a real-world experience into entrepreneurship.

Leangap’s unique approach doesn't rely on mock companies or simulations; you will experience entrepreneurship in the real world, not through PowerPoint slides, allowing you to cultivate the crucial skills of successful founders: leadership, creativity, public speaking, and more.

Our schedule and curriculum are flexible to accommodate the challenges that each team will face throughout their journey, unlike similar programs that give canned lectures to accommodate overcrowded classes. In contrast, our classes are small in size, which results in tailored attention to each carefully selected student, and a unique program modeled after a startup incubator.

‍Spend this summer with your future co-founders and customers, and build your first of many companies!

Our summer program is intensive and requires a full-time commitment.

Here's what your schedule will look like (all times expressed in PST/San Francisco time):

• Early Morning Classes: 4 hours of interactive classes and workshops.
• Afternoon/Evening: You'll work on your startup, collaborate with your team, and meet with mentors. This work is flexible; however, expect to dedicate significant time to it.

We ask for a full-time commitment because our program doesn't just teach entrepreneurship; it immerses you in the real process of creating actual companies. Entrepreneurship is complex and ever-changing, requiring you to adapt quickly and focus deeply. To successfully build a company, you need to be fully engaged and dedicated to your team and the work.

Please plan to focus solely on the program to get the most out of it. Balancing other activities is possible; however, it may affect your ability to fully engage and complete the work.

The initial $700 USD deposit is non-refundable; however, it counts towards the overall tuition.

The remainder of the tuition is refundable if the program start date is more than 60 days away. If the start date is less than 60 days away, no refund will be issued as all costs have been paid upfront by that point. Any and all refunds are subject to a 3% processing fee to cover payment processor charges. This is a standard fee set by our payment platform, Stripe, and not a fee imposed by us.

By requesting a refund, you acknowledge and agree that 3% will be deducted from the refunded amount.

Yes! Financial aid is available and is completely need-based, meaning we will provide a scholarship if you are admitted and you demonstrate you can't pay in full due to your financial situation. If you're driven, passionate, and accomplished, we will make it possible for you to attend.

You can receive anywhere from 10% to 80% off the tuition cost for the Online program, and anywhere from 10% to 50% off for the San Francisco program. We do not offer full-ride scholarships at this time. During the application process, you will need to upload a document with your parents' income statements for the last 12 months. We will review your case then.

No, there are no prerequisites to attend our programs in terms of prior knowledge. While previous experience with business or coding is helpful, so too is experience in marketing, design, sales, and other areas. Our application is designed to showcase students' interests, passions, and drive, which are what we are ultimately looking for. The only prerequisite is a great attitude!

Since then, Leangap has provided a transformative experience for teenagers and continues to be the best choice for both personal and professional growth.
