VentureLab is a non-profit on a mission to create the next generation of diverse innovators and changemakers by making entrepreneurial education accessible to all youth. Their Third Annual “Ready, Set, Startup!” Gala to Launch K-12 Girls into Entrepreneurship will take place Saturday, April 6 at Brand Park Pavilion. Presented by Brown Advisory, they describe the gala as a community celebration to connect, collaborate, and celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit while raising funds to provide all students access to achieve their fullest potential and shape the future by diversifying the entrepreneurial landscape and making entrepreneurship accessible to all.
Kellie Zesch Weir, an Honorary Chair at this year’s event, said in a recent LinkedIn post, “As a mom and investor, I believe entrepreneurship education plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of our youth, especially for young girls who are often underrepresented in the world of entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship education goes beyond teaching business concepts; it instills creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. These skills are essential not only for future business leaders but also for future innovators who will contribute to building a better world. Empowering young girls with the tools and mindset needed to navigate the entrepreneurial landscape is crucial for gender equity and fostering diversity, inclusivity, and innovation. VentureLab is at the forefront of this mission, providing a platform for young minds to explore their potential, unleash their creativity, and develop the skills necessary to become the leaders of tomorrow. Ready, Set, Startup! is not just a celebration of entrepreneurship; it is a testament to the power of education in transforming lives and shaping a brighter tomorrow.”
