About YES

The Young Entrepreneur Showdown (Y.E.S.), hosted by The Entrepreneur Academy, is a one week summer camp program providing high school and college students hands-on entrepreneurial education. Students are housed on the University of San Diego campus and will learn entrepreneurship through workshops and mentorship. Students will hear from successful entrepreneurs, collaborate in small groups, and learn to turn their business ideas into real start-ups. Each team has the opportunity to  compete in a "shark tank" style pitch competition for a cash prize.
