Help us empower the next generation of innovators.
Startup School is more than an event — it’s a launchpad. From June 5–7, we’re bringing 50 HBCU students together in Silicon Valley for an unforgettable experience of learning, connection, and inspiration. These students aren’t just attending workshops — they’re building networks, gaining insider access to venture capital, and designing pathways to wealth and impact.
But we can’t do it without you.
Every donation goes directly toward making this experience possible. Whether it’s meals, travel stipends, or program materials — your support ensures students have everything they need to show up fully.
Here’s what your donation makes possible:
- $20 – Covers local transportation for one student between hotel and venue
- $35 – Provides one student with dinner during our community evening event
- $50 – Supplies one Startup School swag bag
- $100 – Funds conference materials and a Startup Toolkit for five students
- $350 – Sponsors all transportation needs for a group of 5 students
- $500 – Supports a hotel scholarship for one student
- $1,000 – Funds video production so we can share recorded sessions with HBCU campuses across the country
- $5,000 – Helps cover half the cost of providing hotel scholarships for all 30 students
- $10,000 – Fully sponsors the distribution of Startup School recordings to HBCUs nationwide
Every dollar counts. Whether you’re funding a meal, a room, or a recording that reaches hundreds more — you’re investing in the future of innovation.
