School teaches children to answer questions. The world rewards those who ask better ones. NextGen Founder Class exists to close that gap — before it becomes a life sentence.
Every cohort ships real products to real users. No simulation. No 'imagine if'. The work either exists or it doesn't.
Founders, operators and investors who built things people use. No theory professors. No motivational speakers.
We turn away most applicants. Not because we are gatekeepers — because a cohort is a culture, and culture is set by who you let in.
Phuket, San Francisco, Shenzhen, online. A child raised between cultures sees opportunities others can't.
We optimize for who they become, not just what they ship. A founder without character is a problem looking for a place to land.
Success can now be built very early — and it is. But the same world that hands a sixteen-year-old a global stage also crushes them with a level of comparison, exposure and noise no previous generation faced. We want to raise adults who can think, navigate and stay confident in that world — not just kids who got rich fast.
As Christian leaders, we believe deeply that a human being has value. Our children should not grow up being told they will be replaced, obsolete, or only worth what they earn. They should learn to build around who they are, to fail inside a healthy frame, and to succeed without their worth depending on the outcome.
Social media floods them with false images of what success looks like. NextGen is our answer: a program that bets on values, on the full deployment of their potential — but with consciousness, and aimed at problems previous generations have not managed to solve.
We transmit a set of values founded on the worth of the human being — and we measure ourselves against them.
Every child carries inherent worth, before any output. We build on who they are, not on what they produce.
Ambition without love becomes harm. We teach both — care for others and a healthy regard for oneself.
Sharpness applied to real life — in work, in money, in relationships, in decisions. Not theory. Lived wisdom.
Power is borrowed. We train founders to lead for their generation, with creativity as their compass.
Selective. International. Unapologetically demanding. Built by founders, for the next generation of founders. If your child is in our cohort, we are accountable — to you, to them, and to the standard we set the day we opened.
