David Grubbs and Charlie Gasmire are educators and serial entrepreneurs who have helped over 8,600 K-12 students start a real business and are here to report on the measurable outcomes they have observed. Their findings support numerous empirical studies that tout the benefits of entrepreneurship including soft-skill development, cross-curricular learning, and student engagement in the classroom.

Entrepreneurship is a project-based learning tool that provides real-world education by helping students put into practice many of the other subjects they are studying in school, and it’s one of the most effective and proven ways to teach 21st century skills.
