Prequel’s Summer Cohort kicks off our year-long program for ambitious teens ready to build real projects, grow an audience, and gain traction that stands out to top colleges. Students launch MVPs, learn high-leverage skills, and some go on to generate revenue or raise $150K–$1.5M in funding. 80% of alumni get into Top 20 U.S. schools and Top 10 in Canada and the UK—including every Ivy, MIT, Stanford, and Oxford.
Start Strong: Summer Cohort (Months 1–3)
Prequel kicks off with an intensive summer sprint, where students move fast, think big, and start building real-world traction.
- Launch an MVP in your first 90 days—something real, valuable, and worth sharing.
- Learn by doing: Dive into core topics like entrepreneurship, audience-building, and AI-first problem solving.
- Build a foundation for Ivy League-level achievement through structured, project-based learning.
Scale Fast: Year-Long Program (September–June)
After the summer, students enter Scale Phase—9 months of momentum, mentorship, and milestone-driven progress.
Weekly Live Sessions
Interactive, high-intensity workshops focused on execution, feedback, and real-world application.
1:1 Coaching (Human + AI-Guided) - Personalized support that adapts to each student’s needs, keeping them focused and accelerating progress.
Elite Mentorship - Access to a curated network of entrepreneurs, engineers, and operators who’ve done what students aspire to do. Advisors don’t just talk—they challenge and guide.
College Advising, Built In - No generic tips—students receive tailored strategy, positioning, and application guidance based on their project outcomes and personal goals.
Quarterly Competitions & Demo Days - Every 3 months, students pitch their progress in front of expert judges. The strongest projects earn funding, recognition, and new opportunities.
The Curriculum: Built for the Future
Our program is built around the three highest-leverage skill sets for students who want to lead, not follow:
- Entrepreneurship – Learn to identify problems, create solutions, and build real ventures that generate value.
- Audience & Distribution – The best ideas go nowhere without attention. Students learn how to share publicly, grow a following, and attract collaborators.
- AI-First Thinking – Don’t just use AI—outthink it. Students learn to push boundaries, develop unique insights, and build what AI can’t replicate.
The Outcome
By the end of one year, students will:
- Have a fully built, monetized project with real traction.
- Be able to clearly communicate their vision to colleges, investors, and media.
- Stand out in the top 1% of applicants for competitive programs and elite universities.
