FOR UNIVERSITY AND COLLEGE STUDENTS

Our college educational curriculum combines immersive online learning with the award-winning documentary film Show Her the Money, a globally recognized financial empowerment film that has toured in more than 100 cities worldwide and was named by US News & World Report as one of the top financial films of the decade.

Designed for colleges, universities, entrepreneurship programs, and business students, this engaging educational platform uses real-world case studies, storytelling, and video-based learning to introduce students to the fundamentals of venture capital.

Students will gain an understanding of venture capital as:

• a high-growth career path
• a funding pathway for entrepreneurs and startups
• an investment strategy for building long-term wealth

Through entertaining and accessible lessons, students explore entrepreneurship, startup funding, investing, financial literacy, women in business, and innovation in a way that is both inspiring and practical for today’s evolving economy.
