Startup seed funding and mentorship, with boot camps, CEO Clubs and pitch competitions for young entrepreneurs.

Overview

Young people in the community have ideas and ambition, but little or no access to startup capital or people who can guide them. The Christian Youth Startup Fund combines seed funding with structured mentorship, and runs the Christian Future Founders Club so that young founders can learn, pitch and grow together.

Most

Christian youth lack access to capital and business mentors.
