TESTIMONIALS

Here is what a few had to say about the program:  

TYE helped me grow as a person. People think this course is just for business and although its main purpose is business, TYE helped me become a better leader, helped me cope with problems during a team project, and still taught me everything I know about business. - A.K., 2016 - 2017

​

TYE really influenced me on my path to working towards a degree in finance and I plan to start my career as a venture capital analyst/associate. - S.V., 2014 - 2015

​

TYE really helped me see medicine in a new light, a field I have been interested in since I was a kid. I got to research and present predictive analytics, an up and running field of technology in the medical space while conceptualizing ways to fit this idea into a unique business plan. This was an extremely eye-opening, challenging experience that forced my team and me out of our comfort zones. - J.P., 2015 - 2016

​

When I started TYE, I actually thought of this class as more of a lecture and that when they meant "start" a company, I thought of a more simplified version. I didn't think we needed to create a slide presentation, data tables, or do the inner workings real business people accomplish. However, maybe 3 weeks in I felt ready to do these tasks. We were lectured but were put into practice right after allowing us to grasp what we learned rather than memorizing it. After TYE I felt that understanding the topic is a lot more useful and valuable in the future compared to memorization. Even though we didn't win the competition, my team knew we weren't going to lose these skills for years to come, because it's hard to forget all the memories you built with your team. The hardships, stresses, and successes are what brought us together at the end. - S.T.P., 2016 - 2017

This program has helped me learn way more than just basic entrepreneurship skills, I’ve learned how to work as a team. Also, I met some of my best friends and I got the chance to work with the best team ever. This is an opportunity I’ll never forget! I’ve already recommended it to all my friends! - P.S., 2017 - 2018
