- Others have started multiple businesses, even non-profits – one student used her Beta Bowl experience to begin a literacy-related non-profit that’s already donated over 30,000+ books to students in need and gotten 250+ volunteers involved – in just the past two months!
- One student turned her passion for slime into a 5-revenue-stream, 80% profit margin business and was profitable during the program!

- We’ve also been fortunate enough to hire on three of our former students as interns, who are working on some very cool new products!
- Some students have even built businesses with a charitable component and to address a newly-emerging need during these challenging and disruptive times in our world – including a mask-decorating subscription kit for immunocompromised children…and the list goes ON!
(Plus, teens will learn the valuable skills to build a business, at a time when entrepreneurship may be the best job security)
What if you could secure your teen’s future, by giving them the tools to succeed in school, business, and life?
What if you could give them real-world enrichment that teaches them to understand, evaluate, and build businesses, from analytical thinking to financial modeling?

What if your teen could get all this from the comfort and safety of their own home, around their own schedule?
With Beta Bowl, that’s exactly what we provide teens, and more!
Sign Up Now for Our Two-Week Summer VIRTUAL Entrepreneurship Immersion for Teens!
Beta Bowl’s Virtual 2-Week Summer Immersion is an intensive online and interactive entrepreneurial enrichment program for motivated teens (and adolescents). The program is a business-building immersion, comprised of:
- Daily online video lessons and accompanying tasks are bite-sized and step-by-step
- Resources and tutorials to assist in hands-on implementation
- Daily group calls with a startup mentor help students get feedback and expand on complex topics (held at 12 pm PT / 1 pm MT / 2 pm CT / 3 pm ET on Mon – Fri of the student’s session; sessions offered in June, July, and August with limited spots available)
- After enrolling, you’ll be redirected to a Participant Intake Form for the student or parent to complete to ensure we have the proper contact info and can answer any pre-session questions students may have, as well as to ensure we provide call times in the student’s time zone
Students will spend about 2 hours per day on average, and receive daily ongoing step-by-step instruction and 1-on-1 guidance, with practical, hands-on implementation and take an idea from inception to ready-to-beta-launch business.
Your teen will come away with:
- A completed financial model
- A viable business plan
- A business-specific marketing strategy
- An investor pitch deck
- And a ready-to-beta-launch business, even if they entered the program without an idea for a specific business.
Not only is the program a great resume booster, but it also equips teens with a host of impressive skills that colleges are seeking in successful applicants.
At the end of the session, students will receive individual written feedback and a score sheet on their final pitch deck. Students will also come away with a Successful Completion Certificate, as proof of their successful participation and completion.
BONUS: Each student will also receive a 1-on-1 strategy call with a college admissions consultant to help them game-plan how to use their Beta Bowl business (and entrepreneurial experience) to their competitive advantage on their future college applications.

What Parents Are Saying
Program Highlights
Hands-On Activities: Unlike the classroom learning experience, Beta Bowl is all about implementation and putting what students learn into practice in real life. That’s exactly what students do throughout this entrepreneurial extracurricular program. Each lesson is accompanied by multiple hands-on tasks that take students one step closer to turning their idea into a living, breathing, thriving, and profitable business. These hands-on tasks include real-life idea validation, customer research, building a mockup, functional prototype, or landing page for their business to present to potential customers and investors, building a complete financial model to illustrate the business’s projected revenue and profit, and a professional pitch deck ready for review by real investors. Beta Bowl students don’t just learn about business; they build one themselves.
Startup Mentorship: Teens don’t participate in Beta Bowl’s Fall Entrepreneurship Program alone – in addition to their peers going through the program, they get individual attention, feedback, and guidance from experienced Startup Mentors who have built businesses themselves. The Startup Mentors include full-time entrepreneurs, top business school students, and the Beta Bowl founder. Every day these mentors host group calls to imbue their expertise and assist on your student’s entrepreneurial journey. Additionally, students get 24-hour email and text support from their startup mentors, so no matter their question or request for feedback or assignment review, teens have an expert mentor at their fingertips, just a call or an email away. Multiple teens who have gone through the Beta Bowl program have touted the 1-on-1 mentorship as the biggest benefit of the program, and they’ve referred to the weekly calls and feedback as “invaluable” and “access to a wealth of knowledge” that leads to both ah-ha moments for their businesses and an augmented learning experience overall.
What You’ll Gain
Financial Literacy: Beta Bowl gets down to the nuts-and-bolts of building a business, and that includes the financial side of things. Students don’t need any prior knowledge coming into the program, but when they leave, they will have a deep understanding of financial projections and building a profitable business on a budget. We teach students the necessary elements of any business, the cost drivers, and their revenue-generating counterparts, and we equip them to put profit at the forefront of their spending. Additionally, we put a great focus on idea validation, concept testing, prototyping, and pre-selling before spending money on tech or manufacturing to ensure that when our students do build businesses in the future, they make sound financial decisions and never “break the bank” before locking in sales. Furthermore, students will come away with an understanding of financial modeling, and they will create a custom financial model that reflects the budget and projections for their Beta Bowl business. These are skills students can use in the real world, whether in a college business class, when planning their own personal investments, or when building a future business.
Business Professionalism and Confidence: Beta Bowl doesn’t just give teens the tools and resources to build a financial model and pitch deck; it also cultivates their professionalism and confidence in their own entrepreneurial abilities along the way. The daily calls are conducted just like startup meetings with entrepreneurs and investors, and teens are encouraged to present their unique viewpoints when discussing tweaks and changes to their businesses. Teens develop the confidence to voice their opinions, make educated suggestions and informed decisions, and present their findings and business-building progress on each group and individual call, as well as in their pitch deck and optional video. Many participants who have completed the program have developed a deeper passion for entrepreneurship, and with the professionalism and confidence they’ve acquired throughout the program, some have gone on to expand their beta businesses, pursue funding, and plan to make a career out of entrepreneurship.
Innovation Potential: Students come into Beta Bowl from diverse backgrounds, with varying levels of experience, and different business ideas. However, regardless of whether they come into the program with 10 ideas or none, they come out with a proven process for finding, testing, and validating their ideas. In fact, most students end up deciding between two or three ideas and planning to revisit the runner-up ideas in the future, when building another business. Entrepreneurship isn’t just a tangible skill set or a formula for profitability; it’s a way of thinking and a creative, but educated approach to planning, evaluating, and launching a business. That’s exactly what students learn and put into practice, and after going through Beta Bowl and developing the analytical mindset, problem-solving skills, and business acumen we help instill, they come away with the innovation potential to become serial entrepreneurs, building, launching, and growing successful business after business in the future.

"As an entrepreneur who graduated with a business degree, I wish I had been lucky enough to participate in a program like Beta Bowl, which would have given me a real leg up on starting my first business. Kids need this, and the earlier they learn entrepreneurial skills, the better."
- Vikram S., Founder & CEO at PT Wired
"My mom [Former Vice Chancellor of a Top Public University] would 100% have wanted me to do that. I mean, she'd pay more for something like Beta Bowl than for an SAT tutor or college prep counselor."
- Alex M., College Sophomore
"As an athletic coach and a dad, I know how important getting into the right college is. I also know just how valuable business and entrepreneurship skills are to our kids' futures and careers. I'd recommend Beta Bowl to any and all parents out there. "
- Ron U., Father and Former Baseball Coach
"I did a similar program the summer prior to Beta Bowl, and the biggest difference with Beta Bowl is that we get so much more 1-on-1 help on the calls. Also, the college recommendation letter aspect is really cool - the fact that it's personalized to each student's journey is a big plus. Parents don't always realize how important recommendation letters are, but had I known the letters would be customized like that and would highlight my strengths and progress throughout Beta Bowl, I would've definitely taken advantage of this opportunity."
- Raina J., High School Junior and Beta Bowl Student
"The calls are really helpful, especially the 1-on-1 guidance. The group calls are also helpful to get feedback from other peers. I was looking for a program like this, and some of the comparable ones were $8k or more, so Beta Bowl was a no-brainer. "
- Zaid A., High School Sophomore and Beta Bowl Student
"I'm going into music production, but I know a ton of business students who would have LOVED to do that. Also, getting into college is super competitive these days, so I think for the recommendation alone, it would be worth it."
- Natalie S., College Senior
"My ears perked up when I heard the college recommendation. I have a daughter who's a junior in high school, and that's all we're worrying about now. I paid over $10k just to have her go to a summer program for acting so she can get a recommendation from the acting coach. I would have EASILY paid $3k or more for Beta Bowl and the college recommendation letter for her. "
- Jim K., Professor of Entrepreneurship, Father, Entrepreneur, and Angel Investor
"This is the type of program that kids need before they go to college. Not only for the college recommendation - sure, that's a cherry on top, but also building a real business. These are skills kids don't get in school."
- Tina M., Mother of two and Registered Nurse
"I'm not a business major, but the program sounds really cool, and the college recommendation letter alone would get me. We already spend so much time between extracurriculars and applying to scholarships - why not do a program that gets us both and a recommendation letter? Can I do it even though I'm in college now?"
- Talya G., College Freshman

A Note From Our Founder
Hi, I’m Rachel Greenberg – a Wall Street investment banker turned full-time entrepreneur and startup consultant. I’ve been working with startups for the past decade, and I’ve helped create and implement marketing strategies, investor pitch decks, and rebranding campaigns that have collectively reached millions of customers, earned millions+ in funding, and generated tens of millions of dollars in revenue. (A few of them got acquired for 7 and 8 figure valuations in the past few years, and one got a deal on Shark Tank, and a couple have been featured in the Oprah Magazine!)
My story in a nutshell:
- » Business degree in finance + entrepreneurship from UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School
- » Began my career at JP Morgan, Piper Jaffray, & Wells Fargo
- » Co-founded a college-geared company that exited in 2016
- » Hired my former co-founders as the development team on my second company, which I sold to an operator-investor 3 years later
- » Solo-founded and launched 3 different digital companies in 1 year
- » Built the Zero-to-60 digital business accelerator program to help first-time entrepreneurs go from idea to business in 60 days
- » Created Beta Bowl as an educational enrichment program to introduce entrepreneurship to driven teens and future founders
Learning from Feedback
After hosting Beta Bowl focus groups with live sessions for students all over the country and running the program by university business majors and professors, I got 2 pieces of feedback.
1) The current business students WISHED they had this program back when they were in high school, and
2) this is a program that would look great and be a huge differentiator for candidates on college applications and resumes.
Results - A Robust, Hands-on Program
We took that feedback, along with the suggestions from our focus group students, and created a program that gives students a robust, hands-on learning (and DOING) experience, gives them an IMPRESSIVE differentiator to include on their resumes and college applications, and gives them a unique custom recommendation letter that sets them apart and highlights their particular growth, progress, and achievement building their own business in the Beta Bowl program.
I've founded and continue to run a handful of businesses day-to-day, but Beta Bowl is one I'm most proud of, as I believe we have the potential to make the largest impact on the entire generation of future entrepreneurs, business people, leaders, and change-makers. This program is for EVERYONE, and I can't wait to get it into the hands of as many motivated teens as possible."
- Rachel Greenberg, Beta Bowl Founder & CEO
Feedback from a few other students on their Beta Bowl experience
It exceeded my expectations. I went into this program thinking it would just be a typical online class, but it is so interactive, and gives room for creativity and out of the box thinking.
This program provides a great hands-on approach to the most important aspects of building a successful business.
I enjoyed learning about how to successfully creating a startup, and would recommend Beta Bowl to anyone wanting to start their own business
I loved Beta Bowl my expectations were definitely met, and I learned so many new things. I thought that Beta Bowl was an amazing learning experience and got so much out of it.
It gives you everything but the real world experience, it's amazing.
The course was definitely more in depth than I initially thought it would be. I would recommend beta bowl, but only to any over achiever friends. This is definitely a in depth course and completely sets you up to launch a company or sets you up with enough knowledge to start a company in the future.
It was so much greater and put together than I had expected. I thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend to all of my friends for future programs. It is a great learning experience for students who are looking into studying business and even more specifically, entrepreneurial studies to see if it is fit for them!
Beta bowl definitely met my expectations, and it was more thorough than I expected which is great, and I would also recommend it. The two week Beta Bowl program was educational and fun, and the daily calls were informative and open-ended. The program made it simple to build your company with step by step instructions which allowed you to take any business direction.
The experience was definitely a lot more helpful than I expected it to be. At first, I didn't know what to expect, but I definitely got a lot out of it. I would say the course is definitely worth it and it really helped to drive my passion in business.
Exactly what I expected- it was great! I definitely enjoyed and I would highly recommend to others. It's a great way to start your own successful business!
The experience was much better than my expectations going in. I thought it would be more lectures, and less actual work to do alone. I enjoyed that i got to hear the "lectures" and then incorporate the skills learned on the worksheets, and to launching my own business. I loved it and would recommend to my peers. Beta bowl teaches life skills that are useful in the real world, that school would never teach. It teaches you how to think for yourself, be resourceful, and that there isn't one correct answer to something, like how it is in school.
It is a fun educational program that lets you make your idea into a reality, and I would recommend it to others.
I learned a lot more than I thought I was and came out of Beta Bowl with a full financial/business model that started with an idea. What surprised me was how self-paced the program was and how I was challenged by figuring out certain problems and questions by myself. I thoroughly enjoyed the Beta Bowl program and would recommend it. It was a great learning experience, especially for someone who is interested in business. Throughout Beta Bowl, I learned how to turn my idea into a reality. I came into the class with a few ideas and left ready to launch a business in just weeks.
I thought this was just some summer camp, but it is a lot more than that. It’s a great course with lots of good information to know even if you are not starting a business.
I wasn't sure what to expect, but I learned a lot every week and would definitely recommend the course to anyone because it really doesn't matter what experience level you are at, there is always something to work on and there is a lot of material to learn from. I feel like anyone can really make the experience their own, so it is great for anyone. This is a perfect program for anyone because it is a valuable experience no matter what experience level you have. There is always something to learn about and you can pick your own journey.
I found it very interesting and relevant, and it was a great tool to get my business started. I would recommend it to other entrepreneurs looking to start their own businesses. Beta Bowl is an interesting immersive business building program that can teach you the things that you need to know about running a business in this current time.
I'm so glad I decided to give Beta Bowl a chance and use this as experience to see if business is a field I would be interested in pursuing further in college. After completing this course, I have realized how much these types of topics interest me, and it is almost as if these topics come naturally to me. I was able to discover that starting a business isn't rocket science. Anyone who has done plenty of planning and preparation can start a successful business no matter their age or background.
