About
INCubatoredu@FHS gives students the opportunity to become true entrepreneurs by developing their own product or service from the ground up. With guidance from experienced business professionals and educators, student teams learn how to take an idea through the full entrepreneurial journey—from concept to market research, to minimum viable product, and finally to an investor pitch.
This program is more than just a class. It’s an experience. Students engage in:
- Hands-on problem solving
- Real-world business practices
- Team collaboration
- Ongoing mentorship from local experts
Throughout the year, students learn and apply foundational business concepts like marketing, finance, and customer research—all within a structured curriculum based on the Lean Startup model. They present a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) Pitch mid-year, and conclude with Pitch Week, where teams pitch their business to real investors for potential funding.
The program is also a powerful way to connect our local business community to the next generation of leaders. Coaches and mentors are essential to the success of the program, offering professional insight, support, and encouragement throughout the year.
