Even the most amazing product won’t survive if it doesn’t create value.

A lesson from Founder and CEO Cristal Glangchai that every entrepreneur needs to hear💡

has heard thousands of ideas at Shark Tank. The ones that succeed aren’t always the smartest or even the most original. They’re the ones led by people who refuse to quit.

That’s why at VentureLab, we’re teaching students how to take risks, learn from failure, adapt quickly, and keep building.

Because that’s what success looks like—in business and in life💡

What a week in Flint. 🎉

Our team had the privilege of serving as room captains and mentors for the K-4 division at the Mott Million Dollar Challenge finals, and we are still riding the high from everything we saw.

Sixty student teams from across the country pitched live in front of judges. The energy in the rooms was something else.

We are so proud of every single team we worked with, but we have to give a special shout-out to our K-4 winners: KindLeaf, a plantable thank-you card company that took home the Social Challenge, and Sticky Pals, a sticker designed to make vaccine shots less scary for kids, who won the Business Challenge.

These students showed up, owned their ideas, and delivered. We could not be more proud.
Thank you to the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation for creating a stage this big for young entrepreneurs.

Many of today’s careers will look completely different in 10 years. Some won’t exist at all.

The future belongs to people who can adapt, create, communicate, and solve problems.

That’s what we’re really teaching at 🚀

Next week, some of the most ambitious young entrepreneurs in San Antonio get three days to dream up, build, and pitch solutions to real problems.
They need mentors in the room to make it happen.

VentureLab IGNITE is looking for volunteers to join us June 24-26 at Trinity University for our Social Innovation Challenge. Whether you spend an hour or all three days, your presence matters. Students get real-world perspective. You get a front-row seat to what the next generation is already capable of building.

If you're a founder, operator, educator, designer, or just someone who believes in what happens when kids are given the tools and the room to create, we'd love to have you.
