The curriculum is free.
The lab is wherever you are.
The Startup Sprint runs a free curriculum built to kickstart a digital career and partners with organizations around the world to open the computer labs where it’s taught.
The map so far
Expanding opportunity across three continents.
A career in business or software still starts the same way almost everywhere: someone hands you the fundamentals. We exist because that hand-off doesn’t reach everyone. Access to a mentor, a laptop, a curriculum, or even reliable internet is still the accident of where you were born.
The Startup Sprint paints the first panels of a free Business + CS curriculum and hands the roller to a growing network of local chapters and partner organizations, who carry it the rest of the way, into classrooms, community centers, and online communities. We believe in the impact we help create, not just what we’re directly responsible for.
Three ways we reach further.
Three ways The Startup Sprint gets Business + CS fundamentals to more people than we could reach alone.
01Curriculum & resources
A free, practical Business + CS curriculum, built to be picked up and taught by someone else — not locked to one classroom or one platform. Modules cover the fundamentals that actually start a career: how a business works, how software gets built, and how the two meet.
02Local chapters & partner organizations
We don’t try to be everywhere ourselves. Student-run chapters and partner organizations — schools, nonprofits, community programs — take the curriculum and run it locally, in the language, format, and context their community actually needs.
03How the wall gets built
One curriculum, handed off rather than kept. Every chapter and partner that picks it up teaches it in their own words, in their own space, then passes it on to the next one — so reach isn’t capped by how many people we can train ourselves.
The Startup Sprint Hackathon
A 4-day, fully remote hackathon where teams take a startup from idea to pitch, with mentors and guest founders. September 24–27, 2026.
Built to reach further than we can see.
Texas, Kenya, Sierra Leone, South Africa, and India are where we’re building first — curriculum, then a computer lab to teach it in, opened with a local partner. As more chapters and partners come on board, this is the shape we’re building toward: a curriculum with no single point of failure, and no single geography it belongs to.
Running a school, nonprofit, or community program that could host a lab or carry the curriculum? That’s exactly the kind of partner we’re looking to add next.
