Prequel is a 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 millions 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 (Months 1–3)
Prequel kicks off with an intensive 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 (Months 4-12)
After foundations, 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.
