Insights from Our Community of Mentors and Leaders

“Partnering with Young Founders School (YFS) has been incredibly rewarding for us at Hacksat Tech Ltd. Since 2022, our collaboration has been smooth, professional, and truly impactful. YFS’s commitment to empowering young people through innovation is exceptional.

Together, we’ve equipped over thirteen thousand students with practical skills in technology, business, and entrepreneurship. In 2023, we also ran two YFS Startup Bootcamps in Nigeria, helping 200 students build real business ideas and grow their confidence in tech-driven innovation.

We’ve participated in multiple YFS programs—from Startup in Nigeria to MLH workshops, meetups, hackathons, and business bootcamps—providing mentorship and resources across hundreds of events.

To future partners, I strongly recommend collaborating with YFS. Their programs are well-structured, transformative, and create meaningful opportunities for young innovators.”

Partnering with YFS was seamless and inspiring. Their team's energy, global expertise in entrepreneurship development , and dedication to hands-on learning made every step collaborative and impactful.

Through this collaboration, we successfully implemented the Ideation Workshop Program and the Startup Bootcamp, engaging more than 800 secondary school students in northern Nigeria. The programs significantly strengthened students’ creativity, critical thinking, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities. Many participants experienced their first exposure to entrepreneurship, and the improvement in their confidence and idea-generation skills was evident.

Working with YFS allowed us to deepen our reach and enhance the quality of our youth development initiatives. Their curriculum, guidance, and global best practices elevated our impact and aligned strongly with our mission to empower young people in underserved communities.

To future partners considering collaboration with YFS, I confidently recommend it. The organization is professional, mission-driven, and committed to delivering meaningful, measurable outcomes for young minds.

Our experience of working with YFS has been incredibly impressive. The team’s consistent follow‑ups and thoughtful customization for both mentors and mentees have really stood out.

 

What began as a pilot to test acceptance and practicality quickly proved its value, as our students absolutely loved the program. Over just four weeks of mentorship and internship, we observed a remarkable improvement in their language, vocabulary, and overall confidence.

 

We were part of the YFS High School Internship Program, and it has been an outstanding collaboration. To any potential partner, this is an excellent opportunity to consider, YFS is a team that truly goes the extra mile to make collaborations work smoothly and meaningfully.
