Governor's School for Entrepreneurs
June 2018
GSE 2018 is almost here!
In three weeks, 65 promising, entrepreneurial high school students from throughout the Commonwealth will arrive at Transylvania University to participate in the immersive, rigorous Governor's School for Entrepreneurs.
GSE’s learning environment combines STEAM skills with exploratory enterprise development. Teens learn how to build a business model, design a prototype, and pitch their startup to investors. They experience the benefits and hardships of taking a business from idea to reality and how to turn failure into opportunity every step of the way.
Below, we offer you the first peek at the 2018 GSE schedule. As you can see, we don’t waste a moment. Our Entrepreneurs are learning and working continually throughout the GSE experience.
Demo Day
You're Invited!
GSE culminates in Demo Day, a live pitch event. Our Entrepreneurs will pitch their business ideas to a large audience and panel of judges. The top 5 teams will have the opportunity to win cash prizes. It is truly amazing what our entrepreneurs accomplish in three weeks. We know you'll be astounded by Kentucky's most promising teen entrepreneurs. Please join us for a day of competition and celebration!
At the Governor's School for Entrepreneurs (GSE), we continue to work with our most promising Alum, and support their efforts to launch businesses. In the US, 64% of new jobs over the last two decades were generated by small businesses. A fresh infusion of young entrepreneurs can change the economic landscape by creating more companies and more jobs right here in Kentucky.
Meet Andrew Parker, a GSE Alum from 2015. Andrew launched Outlash Outdoor in January of 2018. Since that time, and since this was filmed, Outlash Outdoor continues to thrive. Thus far, they have already met goals set for later this year. We are ecstatic to see our Alum rise - and create real companies - in Kentucky. Andrew, we are so proud of you and what you've accomplished thus far. We'll be here every step of the way!
