Build your thing.
Find your people.
A youth builder community and incubator for young founders, researchers, creators, and innovators who want to make it BIG.
Liftoff is for people who can’t stop building.
Bring the project you keep thinking about after school: startup, paper, AI tool, robot, app, essay, open-source drop, anything real.
HOW IT WORKS
Join Liftoff.
Apply with the thing you keep coming back to. No polished founder cosplay. Just who you are, what you’re building, and why it matters.
