Invest Early. Build Thoughtfully. Learn Fast.
The Wilbury Future Founders Lab is an entrepreneurship program designed to introduce high school students to the realities of building, testing, and pitching new ventures. Unlike traditional pitch competitions, the program emphasizes early feedback, iteration, and founder development, mirroring how Wilbury partners with founders in the real world.
Students present early-stage ideas in a science-fair-style setting and engage directly with Wilbury mentors and operators. The focus is on learning—helping students clarify the problem they’re solving, who it’s for, and what to test next.
Phase II
Learn to clearly communicate ideas, gain confidence, and pitch for funding.
Students deliver a short pitch followed by a moderated Q&A with a Wilbury panel. Evaluation focuses on clarity, progress since Phase I, and overall founder mindset.
