A Zero-Cost Engine for Regional Innovation
Partner with Boom to build a frictionless pipeline from high school startup to university degree β at no cost to your institution, with state funding built in from day one.
The Discovery
Momentum stops here.
The K-12 Gap
Communities lack formal pipelines for creating opportunity from within. Brilliant student MVPs die on the vine β not for lack of ambition, but for lack of a structured path forward.
The University Opportunity
Universities actively crave innovators, creators, and problem-solvers β but have no established funnel to capture local talent before they look elsewhere. Boom is that funnel.
The Operating Model
Three steps. Zero cost.
Boom handles everything β curriculum, faculty, delivery, and funding. Your institution gets the pipeline.
Sustainable Funding
Boom secures direct state funding for all enrolled students through the Work-Ready Dual Credit program β Kentucky's state initiative that pays for college-level courses taken in high school β creating a zero-cost pipeline for your institution.
The 9-Sprint Curriculum
Students navigate an intensive, 9-sprint startup curriculum designed exclusively to launch their MVP. Real businesses, not simulations.
Ecosystem Support
Dedicated Boom Mentors and Small Business Coordinators actively step in to remove obstacles β keeping every student on the path to launch.
π Partnering universities receive one free Boom class hosted directly on their campus.
The Academic Bridge
Managed Dual Credit Enrollment
Boom partners directly with your institution to deliver The Boom Launchpad as a dual-credit course for regional high school students. Boom provides the specialized faculty and AI-integrated curriculum β your institution provides the academic home.
