Meet the summer 2024 Participants of our
Startup Venture Challenge
Launched in the summer of 2024, the Startup Venture Challenge brought together 20 young entrepreneurs from across the country to participate in weekly classes, receive top-notch mentorship from leading Catholic business leaders, and complete weekly challenges in preparation for their business launch. This ten-week intensive propelled these young entrepreneurs to successful launches, and we are delighted to share with you a few of the fruits of their labor – learn more about their businesses below:
Bella Romero Piano Studio
Problem: Overpriced or only modern music lessons.
Solution: I provide local families with quality (including all four music periods: baroque, classical, romantic, modern) yet cheap piano lessons.
Arete Tallow
Problem: My business aims to help women have more healthy, natural, and beautiful skin. I help people who are frustrated with synthetic products and tired of long ingredient lists.
Solution:
Ordo Amoris
Problem: Lack of high-quality, passionate artistic work done for the Catholic faith.
Solution:
Fiction Folder
Problem: Often, writers find that their fiction projects are scattered across their workspaces, computers, and app accounts. Google Docs, Pinterest, MS Word, Phone Notes, and on and on.
Solution: That’s where FictionFolder comes in. It’s built to collect and organize characters, plots, world notes, and drafts so writers can bring their stories to life with less mess and headaches.
