Student testimonial
"I now always attempt to operate on the side of faith, trust and risk. By operating in this manner and not letting the stops keep me down, my self esteem has improved." E.C., Bulkeley High School
"This seminar has helped me in many ways. It has showed me that I can achieve goals that are even higher than my expectations. It has also shown me that what other people think is impossible is possible and that no matter what people say to discourage you, you need to keep on going and always know you can and there are no limits to what you can do." M.H., New Britain High School
"My life right now is a lot better because of the things that I've learned from this seminar. I think more before I react." S.C., Prince Tech

History
EntrepreneursNOW is a Connecticut not-for-profit company formed in July, 2005 to produce a free-to-the-students Entrepreneurial Course for High School Students based on an innovative and effective course curriculum (The $-Road to Riches-$® ). The Entrepreneurial Course for High School Students was created so that the program’s core learning principles could be shared with people at an earlier age, giving them a head start on economic self-sufficiency, and a wealthy and prosperous life.
Six seminar cycles have been conducted between 2004 and 2007. The after-school program has grown significantly in each year of operation, from its pilot with seven students at Bristol Technical Education Center (Connecticut) in the spring of 2004 to its most recent Fall 2007 cycle with 9 Hartford and New Haven, CT area high schools with over 200 students.
In its first two years, the EntrepreneursNOW volunteers who support this program have raised over $250,000 through grants, corporate sponsorships and private donations, using the principles of the Entrepreneurial Course.
