The prevailing belief in entrepreneurship is that the value of an entrepreneur is the value of their business, not the entrepreneur themselves. This creates a system where an enormous amount of early-stage entrepreneurs who don’t come from privilege are ignored. Instead, Sky’s the Limit envisions a world where every entrepreneur has the opportunity to achieve their full potential. Our mission is to build a global community where all entrepreneurs and their allies can build meaningful relationships and grow together.
Skysthelimit.org (STL) is a digital platform that connects aspiring, underrepresented entrepreneurs ages 18 to 29 with experienced business advisors and mentors. Our mission is to empower underserved communities nationwide by providing them with the right support, from the right people, at the right time in their journey. With over 45,000 registered entrepreneurs and volunteers, we're growing rapidly in all 50 states. Through our digital platform, we provide young entrepreneurs with one-on-one support, our young adult-adapted entrepreneurship training resources, and our startup grants funding. We also license our entrepreneurship mentoring platform to nonprofits and other organizations around the world to support the scale of their business mentoring programs.
Over 11 million young adults ages 18 to 29 in the United States say they want to start their own business, but lack the resources they need to do so. We’re leveling the playing field so that anyone with an idea, perseverance and a willingness to learn can get the support they need to build their business.
Skysthelimit.org (formerly known as Youth Business USA) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit based in Oakland, CA.
