For businesses
Every LVCI Next cohort solves a genuine business challenge with AI. Bring yours as a presenting partner — and reach an engaged audience of professional parents while you're at it.
Why partner
This isn't a logo on a banner. A presenting partnership puts your brand, your problem, and your hiring pipeline in front of a small, motivated group — and the families behind them.
Parents of 14–24-year-olds are often the exact professionals and decision-makers brands want to reach. Your name rides along on every cohort and Demo Day post we share.
Hand the cohort a genuine challenge and get a dozen motivated builders attacking it from angles your team wouldn't — structured, low-cost idea generation with working prototypes at the end.
Watch how students think, build, and present under a deadline. When someone stands out, you're first in line to offer an internship, a mentorship, or a prize.

How a sponsored cohort works
Tell us a real problem your business has. We shape it into a brief that's the right size for a four-week build.
Students learn your context, then decide what's worth building with AI to move the needle on it.
Small groups ship working prototypes — apps, tools, or workflows — with live mentorship throughout.
Students present to you and a real audience. You award prizes, scout talent, and get a content moment we amplify.
Done right
We keep the education as the product and treat anything commercial as separate, optional, and fair to the student. That's what makes this work for everyone.
LVCI Next is an education program. We aren't a staffing agency, and we don't sell student labour. Any internship, prize, or commercial interest is optional, runs through the student and their parent or guardian, and follows the rules for working with minors.
Every project and case study belongs to the student who built it.
The cleanest way to reward standout work and put your name on something positive.
Love a builder? Offer them a real opportunity — with parental consent and proper terms.
That's a separate, optional deal made with the student and their family — never bundled in.
Let's build something
Tell us about your business and the kind of problem you'd love a team of young builders to take on. We'll send the partner pack and find a cohort that fits.
One of our team members will get back to you shortly.
