Join the Founding CohortHi, I'm Charbel. I've taught thousands of people to turn ideas into real businesses.
Young Founders is everything I've learned about teaching through being a serial founder and educator for almost 30 years. It’s structured into 12 weeks, with live mentoring sessions, and access to our Founding Community for 12 months.

Young Founders is more than learning about business; it’s about possibility.
For young people, it’s the excitement of turning “I don’t know where to start” into “I’ve launched something that’s mine.” It’s the pride of landing your first customer, and the independence of earning on your own terms.
For parents, it’s the relief of structure, the hope of future-proof skills, and the pride of watching your child grow into someone capable, confident, and resilient.
It's a comprehensive course, a reference kit, complete with community access.
