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 they could come away with a custom recommendation letter to differentiate them on future college applications and for jobs and internships?
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!

For the first time ever, we’re bringing the skill that colleges value most right into teens’ living rooms. Even college professors are raving about this program, and it’s guaranteed to give students a leg up in many ways…college applications are just one.

“I don’t know a parent who wouldn’t jump on this for their kid” – Jim Kitchen, a College Business School Professor, Father, Entrepreneur, and Angel Investor

Beta Bowl is NOT your average extracurricular. This program is REAL-WORLD enrichment that teaches teens to understand, evaluate, and build businesses! From analytical thinking to financial modeling, the teens are getting a SOLID business education and highly desirable skill set in these 12 weeks.

“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

Virtual Online Entrepreneurial Enrichment Program teaches teens how to build businesses!

Beta Bowl provides teens with an impressive, outcome-focused extracurricular, weekly calls and individual assistance (group and 1-on-1), and students come away with a wealth of knowledge, an impressive resume booster, a Successful Completion Certificate, and a College Recommendation Letter…
(and feedback from real investors + the chance to win up to $1500 from the Beta Bowl pitch competition)

Don’t take our word for it –
read what other students, parents, and professors have to say!

“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 $1500 pitch competition prize incentive 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

F.A.Q

Beta Bowl is an extracurricular program for adolescents ages 13 through 18 who have an interest in startups and entrepreneurship. We offer three different program options: Summer 5-Day Immersion, Summer 6-Week Condensed (rolling admission), and Platinum 12-Week (rolling admission). Throughout the program, participating teens will have the hands-on experience of taking an idea from inception to minimum viable product, ready to launch (and launch it in beta), as well as complete an investor pitch deck and learn every aspect of building, marketing, and pitching a business. 

Beta Bowl is both an educational experience and a real-world introduction to building a business. The program covers everything from marketing to branding to business models and startup finance. Participants will be guided through every step of turning their idea into a reality by their startup mentor, with whom they will have weekly (or daily for the 5-Day Immersion) working calls. Startup mentors will provide strategic advice, as well as technical alternatives and easy-to-implement resources to enable participants to bring their ideas to life, regardless of the idea's niche or industry. (no additional expenses required)

P.S. Students don't need an idea or product coming into Beta Bowl - they will be coached and given the tools and resources to prepare a sound business idea, service, or product and bring it to fruition. (Idea exploration and validation are a part of week 1 of the Beta Bowl curriculum)

Beta Bowl is founded and run by current entrepreneurs and investors who have real-life experience, building, scaling, and selling companies.

All Beta Bowl participants will receive a Successful Completion Certificate and will come away with a full portfolio of their business-building projects, all of which can be a great addition to a resume and college application. Platinum and Summer participants will also receive a custom letter of recommendation from the Beta Bowl founder and CEO, specific to their journey throughout the program, which can be a huge asset and differentiator in their college applications.

The Platinum and 6-Week Condensed Summer Beta Bowl sessions culminate in a startup competition, in which participants will submit their pitch deck (and optionally a pitch video) to be evaluated by the startup judges for review, feedback, and possibly funding. The startup judges are qualified investors and successful entrepreneurs, and they will assess ideas based on soundness of the business plan, profitability of the financial model, actual progress to date (i.e. beta launch traction and feedback from target customers) in selecting a winner. The annual competition winner will be awarded $1500. (Based on volume of participants and the quality of pitches received, additional prize funding may be awarded to second and third place winners, as well.)

No! Every participant in Beta Bowl will be coached and guided every step of the way and given all the necessary tools and resources to turn their idea into a viable business and launch it! There is no advanced math involved, and the simple startup math included in the financial model will be thoroughly explained to all participants. All calculations will be handled in excel. There is also no need for participants to have any advanced technical or coding skills. If they do, that's fine and they can use those in their startup if they choose, but participants will have just as good a chance of success in startups and in Beta Bowl lacking that knowledge.

Success in entrepreneurship is really not about IQ or any specific skill-set taught in schools (like math or science), though those skills CAN influence bright and ambitious entrepreneurs and help them on their journey to success.

Yes! You can participate as many times as you want! That said, you will be given all the tools and resources, as well as 1-on-1 mentorship, to take your idea to launch each time. If you are a repeat participant with the same idea, we can provide you a customized "advanced" curriculum for you.

Yes - here's how these calls work: After submitting their intake form, participants will be matched up with a startup mentor and given a milestone tracker and curriculum (along with their other intake materials). Students will have weekly (daily in the 5-day immersion) zoom calls with their mentor that will move participants forward in turning their idea into an MVP - some weeks will focus on market research, the financial model, the marketing strategy, the pitch deck, etc. The calls, along with the milestone tracker, keep all participants on track so they come away with their completed MVP, financial model, marketing plan, pitch deck, and are prepared for the end-of-session startup competition.

If a participant wants his or her parents to sit in on the calls (OR if a parent wants to be present for the calls), that is completely fine. If a parent wants to be more involved in their teen's startup, that's great, but throughout the Beta Bowl session, we will be sure to equip all participants (the teens) to build and launch their own business. That's the goal. :)

The startup mentors assigned to each Beta Bowl enrollee (or team) are full-time entrepreneurs and/or top business school performers at esteemed universities. Some of our mentors have backgrounds in finance, some have come from accelerators, and some have transitioned from entrepreneur to investor/advisor.

A note to parents (and students): We vet every startup mentor for their academic acuity and personal integrity – mentors include entrepreneurs and current top performers at esteemed business schools. Additionally, Beta Bowl student participants have opportunities to give feedback along the way to ensure they’re getting the positive learning experience and value add from their weekly mentor sessions.
*Select participants will be mentored by Rachel Greenberg, the Beta Bowl founder & CEO, based on her availability at the student's time of enrollment.

What if I want to guarantee Rachel as my student's mentor or get a higher level of ongoing support?
Please send an email to info@beta-bowl.com with the subject line "CONCIERGE" to inquire about options and pricing for concierge mentoring with Rachel Greenberg. We are able to customize the program to best meet you and your teen's needs and requests.

Participants can sign up solo or with friends as a "team" if they'd like to build one startup together (in which case the weekly calls can be group calls with all team members). You will each enroll individually, but in your application (which you will receive just after enrolling), you will be asked to select "Solo" or "Team" participant, and if you select "Team" will indicate the name and email address of your friend(s) who you would like to work with. Teams of any size can be accommodated, but most successful startups began with founding teams of 5 or fewer members.

As a Beta Bowl enrollee, you will be given all the tools you need to build and launch your MVP. That said, there are always multiple options (paid and unpaid) when it comes to getting a product or website built. IF you choose to spend additional money on bringing your idea to life, that is completely fine and up to you, BUT your startup mentor will always give you FREE alternative tools and resources you can use to accomplish the goals of the program and take your idea from zero to pitch-ready (and market ready).

The only tools students need access to include:

  • A computer with internet (to access video lessons and collaborate)
  • Excel or Numbers (to access and complete the financial model tasks)
  • PPT, Keynote, or similar presentation editing program (pitch deck tasks)
  • Email (and optionally phone OR computer audio chat) for weekly startup mentor calls and to receive Beta Bowl communications

Beta Bowl is for adolescents ages 13 through 18. The program is geared towards motivated and gifted adolescents and teens who are driven, ambitious, and have an interest in business, startups, or at the least watching Shark Tank :) (or for those who simply want an impressive and unique extracurricular opportunity to stand out from the crowd in the competitive college application process)
*If you are interested in registering a gifted younger student (between 11 and 12), please reach out via email to info@beta-bowl.com and we can accept and accommodate them on a case-by-case basis.

At the end of each Beta Bowl session (Platinum, Gold, and 6-Week Summer Condensed), there will be a startup pitch competition, where each participants (or teams) will send in their pitch deck (and optionally a video pitch), explaining their idea, business model, and current progress/traction to a group of pitch judges (seed and angel investors and successful entrepreneurs). These judges will evaluate that session's entries and will award between $500 and $1500 to the winning startup, as well as individual feedback and suggestions to every participant on taking their startup to the next level!
