The Startup Squad believes that all girls should have the benefit of an entrepreneurial mindset, not just those who can afford a copy of our books. Since our inception, we have worked tirelessly to partner with charitable organizations to inspire and empower underserved girls.
Want to work with us or know an organization that believes in the power of inspiring and empowering girls? We would love to hear from you.
Donate to The Startup Squad Foundation to bring our entrepreneurship workshops and books to more girls in underserved communities. Your support will inspire girls to start their first businesses, empower them with an entrepreneurial mindset, and encourage them to dream big, work hard, and achieve their full potential.
Get Down to Business is a flexible after-school course that builds self-confidence and self-esteem in girls by helping them develop and launch their own businesses. We license our curriculum to community centers, girls’ charities, and Boys and Girls Clubs in underserved communities who run the programs to empower their girls with entrepreneurial mindsets. Email us to see if the program is a fit with your organization.

The Startup Squad has worked with hundreds of Girl Scouts across the nation to relate the narrative and tips in its books to cookie selling. This left-and-right-brain learning increases the girls’ excitement about selling cookies and helps them better connect cookie selling to running a real business.
