IVG (Identify, Validate, Grow) emerged from a transformative journey in Ghana, Africa, where a spark for social entrepreneurship met the limitless potential of youth. Our program was designed with one powerful goal: to foster a changemaker mindset in students around the world, equipping them to lead, create, and inspire change. Through a series of engaging, virtual workshops, we teach students the LEAN methodology, blending entrepreneurial principles with a mission to address real-world issues. But we’re more than a program; IVG is a movement. By empowering students to identify challenges, validate solutions, and grow their ideas, we inspire a belief in their own capacity to drive positive change. Every year, students bring their ideas to life at our pitch competition held at NYU's Washington Square Park Campus, where they share their visions for a better future. Our mission is to educate and inspire youth through entrepreneurship workshops, empowering them to see themselves as changemakers and leaders. We are committed to shaping a world where every young person has the tools and support they need to start making an impact today.

A key aspect in creating entrepreneurial culture is strengthening entrepreneurship education and creating more platforms for idea exchange and collaboration. Educational institutions can play a significant role by incorporating entrepreneurial studies in their curricula and promoting hands-on learning experiences through business incubators, workshops, and hackathons. This would help cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset among the youth, encouraging them to pursue innovative solutions to local problems. Moreover, fostering collaboration between entrepreneurs, academic researchers, and industry professionals can create a network of support that accelerates business growth. Public and private sector partnerships could also help develop infrastructure, such as co-working spaces and accelerators, where entrepreneurs can access resources, mentorship, and community support. #entrepreneurship #education
