Our Impact: Mission Spotlight

From Concept to Company in 13 Weeks

School/Org Junior Achievement
Location Northern Colorado
Funding Impact Fund
Year 2019

Student teams identify a problem, build a business around the solution, and pitch it shark-tank style to real entrepreneurs — nearly 400 students strong and growing.

Junior Achievement’s JA Company Program gives budding entrepreneurs the tools, skills, and platform to take a business idea from concept to reality.

Student teams don’t just build a company — they pitch it, shark-tank style, to real entrepreneurs and industry leaders. That hands-on experience is a game-changer for young people on a mission to become the makers, doers, and givers of tomorrow.

OtterCares is proud to support a program that puts students in the entrepreneur’s seat from day one.
