What Starts in Here, Succeeds Out There.
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower high school students into the life of entrepreneurship and innovation: to embrace trial and error, to encourage students to think outside the box and step out of their comfort zone, and to celebrate each step towards their goals, no matter how big or small. We ultimately want our club to be inspired by others to work hard. In the startup club, We will offer small business owners a place to come discuss with other students just like them, as well as help teach students who are interested in starting a business. We can learn about branding and marketing, and apply those skills. Through our club, current and future students of Paly will become more educated in the business field, and accumulate experience in preparation for college.
Our Story
We were inspired to begin The StartUp Club because we felt there was no club at Paly that mixed business education and social fun to our taste. Additionally, we tried many business/finance clubs, however they were primarily made up of males. We are both female business owners with a passion for inclusivity and we want to combat the stigma that business is a male run field at play, which reflects demographics nationwide.
