Pre-College Miami: Top Program for Teen Founders
A five-day immersion in Miami's startup ecosystem — designed for high school students who want to find out what it really takes to build a venture.
What is the Link Pre-College Program?
Pre-college programs teach you about entrepreneurship. Link teaches you to be an entrepreneur.
For one week in June, fifty high school students from across the country spend their days inside Miami’s startup ecosystem — meeting working founders, sitting with investors, building real prototypes, and pitching real ventures to a real panel of judges.
Program dates:
January 11–15, 2027 - Coconut Grove, Miami, FL
The program runs Monday through Friday and follows the full arc of building a venture: ideation, problem validation, prototyping, sales, and pitch. By Friday, you’ll be standing in front of a panel of Miami ecosystem leaders — investors, accelerator heads, and founders — defending the startup you built that week.
