The Business Incubator is a Juniors level Honors course in the Business Department that offers students a unique opportunity to become true entrepreneurs and business experts.  During the year long course, teams of 4-5 students learn about idea creation, marketing, accounting, human resources, teamwork, as well as the legal and financial aspects of creating and running a business.  To further inspire creativity, a customized classroom called the Innovation Incubator has been designed to enhance brainstorming and fostering collaboration as students develop products and services for the real world.

This year marks the 6th Anniversary of the LFHS Business Incubator program!  The teams are taught by master and leader certified level teachers in the INCubatoredu program and supported throughout the year by local businesspeople and academics working as mentors and coaches.  The LFHS course is considered one of the best in the country and has sent a team to the INCubatoredu National Pitch Competition Finals each of the past 3-years.

Recently five teams were selected by a group of six outside business executive and entrepreneurial judges to go on the Business Accelerator – a Senior level Honors business class.  This class allows these teams to continue the development of their business next year.

At the Pitch Night Virtual Showcase, the LFHS Foundation awarding $10,000 in prize funding to two or more of these five business teams as seed money for the further development of their product and services.
Finally, the teams will be actively seeking private investors in their developing business model – much in the same way as seen on “Shark Tank”.  At last year's Pitch Night event outside investors pledged $15,000 across three teams.

If you are interested in investing in any of this year's teams, please fill out and submit this form and the teams will contact you over the summer. Thank you in advance for your support of entrepreneurship at LFHS.
