Don’t just learn to build a business, actually build a business.

The Reagan Business INCubator program offers students an authentic entrepreneurship experience. In this program, students have the opportunity to create and fully develop their own product or service. Real entrepreneurs and business experts serve as volunteer coaches and mentors guiding student teams through the Lean Startup processes of developing hypotheses about a business concept, testing those hypotheses, adapting, and continually learning and improving. This cycle of experimentation is combined with foundational business such as marketing and finance.

You get to work on an idea that you’re really passionate about.

Along the way you get to learn about business, entrepreneurship, finance...and you're applying those skills to something you really enjoy working on. Kevin Chung, Fremd High School, Palatine, IL

It was really awesome taking a class that applied to real life.

I had no idea what I wanted to do before this class, and through the class, it was a no brainer for me - I want to be an entrepreueur. I'm so thankful for the opportunity. Alex Harmon, Fremd High School, Palatine, IL
