Most schools that adopt Kid Startupper start exactly this way — one class, one teacher, thirty days. It is the fastest way to find out whether the programme fits your students, your timetable, and your teaching style. Nothing is charged, and nothing is owed if you decide not to continue.
- Everything you need for a full month of teaching — opening lessons of every cycle, plus all materials, worksheets and quizzes for month one
- Free online training for your teacher before the first lesson (1–2 hours, scheduled at your convenience)
- Administrator dashboard so you can watch student progress in real time from day one
- Andrew, the AI mentor, active for your students — with a limited allowance, enough to see exactly how he works
- Accounts activated within 24 hours of your request — you can start next week
- No credit card, no contract, no automatic renewal. If you stop, you stop.
We respond to every school inquiry within 24 hours.
Three reasons directors say yes
Beyond the curriculum itself, here is what adopting Kid Startupper actually does for your institution.
It sets your school apart
Very few schools teach entrepreneurship as a structured, multi-year curriculum. Offering it gives parents a concrete, memorable reason to choose you — and gives your school something specific to say at open days that competitors cannot copy quickly.
It adds almost nothing to teacher workload
The complete curriculum, e-books, quizzes, lesson plans and assessment materials are all provided and ready to use. Your educators facilitate rather than prepare. Training is included and takes 1–2 hours.
The outcomes are visible to parents
Students finish with a business plan, a pitch, and a portfolio they can show. Critical thinking, presentation skills and initiative stop being aspirational bullet points and become things parents can actually see at the dinner table.
$150 per cycle. And it goes down, not up.
One number per student, per academic year. No tiers, no add-ons, no per-feature charges. We publish our pricing because your time is worth more than a discovery call to find out a number.
The complete curriculum
Foundation, Business and Founder. 27 core lessons across 3 cycles, all e-books and materials, individual student accounts, administrator dashboard, teacher training and support. Everything included at one flat rate.
E-Commerce and Green Entrepreneurship
Schools that take students all the way through pay less for the final two cycles, not more. These cycles cannot be purchased by families at any price — they exist only inside partner schools.
That is the complete cost per student for the entire five-cycle journey. For comparison, a family buying the home programme directly pays $680 for the first three cycles alone — and cannot buy Cycles 4 and 5 at all. Your school delivers more and pays less.
- 22 structured lessons per cycle, delivered across a full academic year
- Review lessons and bonus content included in every cycle
- The Kid Startupper Hackathon competition at the end of each academic year
- One individual account per student — their own profile, progress and portfolio
- Full access to the entire curriculum from day one — no locked lessons
- Students keep access from home — including through holidays and vacation periods
- Generous mentoring allowance for every student — Andrew guides them through their business, answers questions, and reviews their work
- Andrew knows where each student is in the curriculum and what they are building
- Feedback on pitches, business plans and strategic decisions in Cycle 3 onwards
- Manage students, classes and payments from a single control panel
- Monitor lesson completion and progress across every class in real time
- Add, edit or deactivate accounts yourself — no support ticket required
- Complete e-books for every cycle — 90, 74 and 122 pages respectively
- Online presentations, exercises and quizzes
- Printable PDF materials for classroom or homework use
- Full messaging enabled — students connect and collaborate with young entrepreneurs in other countries
- Partner search and project collaboration tools unlocked
- Moderated environment — see our Safety & Compliance page
- Complete lesson plans and teaching materials in PDF for every lesson
- Free online teacher training — 1–2 hours per center, via Google Meet or your preferred platform
- Free technical support online throughout the academic year
- No entry fee and no setup charge
- No minimum number of students required to begin
- Start the programme at any point in the year that suits your timetable
- All student accounts checked and activated within 24 hours
- Free 30-day pilot before you commit to anything
Pricing may vary by country. Subscription is prepaid for the academic year. Because the product is digital and access is granted immediately, refunds are not possible once classes begin after the pilot period ends — which is exactly why we offer a full 30 days to evaluate it first.
What the free pilot includes — and what it doesn't
The pilot is a genuine evaluation, not a stripped demo. But it isn't the full programme either, and we would rather tell you exactly where the lines are than have you find out in week three.

Everything you need to run a real month of teaching is unlocked. What we hold back — later lessons, unlimited AI mentoring and the student network — is what makes the full programme worth paying for. Thirty days is enough to know whether your students respond to it.
Less than a set of textbooks — for an entire year of curriculum
$150 covers a full academic year: 22 structured lessons, the complete e-book, all materials, every student's individual account and portfolio, Andrew as their AI mentor, your administrator dashboard, teacher training, technical support, and entry to the annual Hackathon. Spread across a school year, that is less than $17 a month per student — roughly one private tutoring session.
Three core cycles — plus two your school can unlock
Cycles 1 to 3 are the complete Kid Startupper curriculum: 27 structured lessons that take a student from their first idea to a finished business plan. Cycles 4 and 5 exist only inside schools — they are not available to families learning at home.
Foundation — who you are as an entrepreneur
Before a student can build a business, they need to know what an entrepreneur actually is and where they fit. This cycle builds professional identity, introduces the platform as a working environment, and connects students with young entrepreneurs in other countries.
- Introduction to entrepreneurship and Kid Startupper
- Doing business with the help of the platform
- Exploring career fields
- Familiarity with the platform environment
- Social networks and the Kid Startupper platform
- Connecting with students interested in entrepreneurship
- Collaboration between students
- Searching for partners to create a project
Business — building something real
Ideas become an actual business. Students create a name and identity, decide what they sell and to whom, and work through the Business Model Canvas — the same tool used by real startups. By the end they have a business page live inside the platform.
- The importance of doing what you love
- Introduction to developing a business
- Location, design and operating hours
- Distribution of products and services
- Implementing effective marketing strategies
- Creating a page to showcase your business
- Managing and editing your business page
- Promoting your products and services
Founder — First Principles, funding and the pitch
The most demanding cycle. Students learn Aristotle's First Principles method — the framework behind Tesla, SpaceX and Netflix — then move into human resources, business valuation, venture capital and pitching. They finish by writing a complete business plan.
- Serving your customers
- Security, IT management and protection
- Human resource management
- Values and ethics — sharing your experiences
- Entrepreneurship and Aristotle — First Principles
- From Tesla and SpaceX to your own business
- Finding financial resources
- Evaluating your business
- Modern startups — Facebook, Instagram, TikTok
- Angel Investors, Venture Capital and pitching
- Creating a business plan — case study
Cycles 4 and 5 cannot be bought by families. They exist only here.
Students learning at home complete the programme at Cycle 3. Cycles 4 and 5 are delivered exclusively through partner schools and education centers — because both require group work, teacher facilitation and structured project time that a child cannot replicate alone at a kitchen table. If your students want to go further than the home programme allows, your school is the only route there. And they cost $100 per student instead of $150 — schools that stay the course pay less, not more.
E-Commerce — selling in the real digital economy Schools only
By Cycle 3 a student has a business plan. Cycle 4 asks the harder question: could you actually sell this to a stranger on the internet? Students move from planning into operating — building an online store, writing product listings that convince, understanding payments and shipping, and learning why most online businesses fail in the first month.
- How e-commerce actually works — from click to doorstep
- Choosing what to sell online and why most choices fail
- Building the store — structure, navigation and trust
- Product photography, descriptions and listings that convert
- Digital marketing — finding the people who want what you made
- Social media as a sales channel, not a popularity contest
- Pricing, shipping and the numbers behind an online order
- Customer service, reviews and reputation online
- Payments, security and protecting customer data
- Analysing what happened — reading your own numbers
Green Entrepreneurship — building for a planet under pressure Schools only
The final cycle, and the one that most changes how students see business. Consumers are no longer choosing on price alone — they are asking what a product is made of, where it came from, and what it leaves behind. Students learn to build businesses that answer those questions honestly, and discover that sustainability is not a cost centre but where the next generation of demand actually is.
- Climate change and business — what is actually happening
- The lifecycle of a product, from raw material to landfill
- What consumers are demanding now, and why it changed
- Designing environmentally friendly products and services
- Materials, packaging and the choices that actually matter
- The circular economy — reuse, repair, recycle, rethink
- Costing a sustainable product without pricing it out of reach
- Greenwashing — spotting it, and refusing to do it
- Measuring and communicating real environmental impact
- Social entrepreneurship — businesses that exist to fix something
- Final project — pitching a sustainable business to a panel

Accounts created within 24 hours
We set up your institutional account and administrator access. Student accounts are checked and activated within a day. Nothing to install on your side — the platform runs in a standard web browser.
Free teacher training
We train your educator on the curriculum, the platform and the administrator panel before the first lesson. One to two hours, online, scheduled around your timetable. Included at no cost.
Run your 30-day pilot
Your class begins. You watch progress through the dashboard. At the end of thirty days you decide whether to continue — with real evidence from your own students rather than a sales presentation.
What directors ask before committing
Answered directly.
Yes. No credit card, no contract, no minimum student count, no automatic conversion to a paid subscription. At the end of thirty days you tell us whether you want to continue. If you don't, nothing happens and nothing is owed.
There is no minimum. Many schools begin with a single class of ten to fifteen students to see how it fits before expanding across year groups. Starting small is not a disadvantage — it is usually the smartest way in.
No. The platform runs in a standard web browser on any desktop or laptop with an internet connection. There is nothing to install, host, license or maintain on your side.
Considerably less than building a programme yourself. Lesson plans, curriculum content, e-books, quizzes, presentations and assessment materials are all provided and ready to use. Your educator facilitates the session rather than preparing it. Training takes one to two hours and is included.
Whenever suits your timetable. The programme is not tied to a fixed intake date. Students also retain access during holidays and vacation periods, so a mid-year start does not cost them anything.
Yes — the platform is COPPA and GDPR compliant, McAfee SECURE certified, contains no advertising, and never shares student data with third parties. Full detail is on our Safety & Compliance page and in our Privacy Policy. We have never declined a compliance review request from a school.
Because neither works without a group. Cycle 4 (E-Commerce) and Cycle 5 (Green Entrepreneurship) are built around team projects, structured classroom time and a teacher facilitating the work — none of which a child can replicate alone at home. Families learning independently finish the programme at Cycle 3. If your students want to continue beyond that, your school is the only route available to them.
It is a genuine evaluation, but not the complete programme — and we would rather say so plainly. Students get the opening two to three lessons of every cycle, plus full access to all the materials, worksheets and quizzes they need for a real first month of teaching. What is held back is the later lessons, the full e-books, unlimited AI mentoring, and student-to-student messaging. Your administrator dashboard, teacher training and technical support are all fully unlocked. Thirty days is enough to see whether your students respond to the method.
Students have a limited mentoring allowance during the pilot — enough to interact with Andrew, ask questions and see exactly how the guidance works, but not the open-ended access of a full subscription. With a paid subscription every student receives a generous allowance for the whole academic year. We limit it during the pilot for a simple reason: AI mentoring is the most expensive part of the platform to run, and it is also the feature schools tell us most justifies the subscription.
The student network connects children across countries, and every account in it goes through our full onboarding and moderation process. We do not open that network to accounts that may only exist for thirty days. Once your school subscribes, messaging, partner search and project collaboration are all fully enabled for your students.
It can. $150 per cycle is our standard rate, with Cycles 4 and 5 at the reduced Continuation Rate of $100. Pricing is adjusted for some regions. Tell us where your school is located and we will confirm the exact rate that applies to you.
Yes. Every student has their own account and can access the platform from home — during term, over weekends, and through holiday periods. Many of the best projects get built outside the classroom.
Thirty days will tell you more than thirty pages will.
Pick one class. Run the pilot. Watch what your students do with it. Then decide whether Kid Startupper belongs in your school — with evidence, not a brochure.
