The Weekend Series

Founders School helps teens build $1M+ businesses by graduation. The Weekend Series is our crash course on this.

Completely free, invite-only programs for the most ambitious students.

Find Your Weekend

Three kinds of weekend.

Most students lean one way. Pick the one that sounds like yours.

Shop stall with a blue-and-white striped awning and a stack of coins
For the one that wants to earn.

Start a business

They’ve resold the sneakers, and they’ve talked you into things. This weekend they find a real customer and take real money for something they made.

Laptop next to stacked building blocks
For the one who wants to build.

Build a product

They’re already building. Mods, hardware, half-finished projects open on a laptop. This weekend they build one properly with AI, and finish it — working, and in someone else’s hands by Sunday.

Megaphone beside a smartphone on a tripod
For the one who wants to be heard.

Build an audience

They’re filming already, usually for an audience of nobody. This weekend they make something people actually find, and learn how it travels.

Upcoming Weekends

Every weekend
we have dates for.

Soonest first. The first Build Weekend is in New York this September, and both weekends then run across the country in October, at Alpha School campuses from Boston to San Francisco.

The Bigger Picture

Loved the weekend?
Our students do this every day.

The series is a taste of Founders School, the high school where the same loop runs all year: real businesses, real customers, and a real path to $1 million by graduation.
