The BYE program is about building the skills and confidence for Silicon Valley African American youth to thrive in business and life.We've developed a program that teaches students how to select, research, vet, develop, and market a business. From idea generation to pitching their businesses for startup investment funds, this membership is truly transformative.

As the only Silicon Valley African American youth in business platform, this powerful program is also about how to do business, focusing on the principles and values that go into doing business well — communication, business etiquette, accountability, integrity, courage, and perseverance among others. Because as we know, becoming an entrepreneur isn’t for the faint of heart!

Your engagement as a parent or a sponsor plays an essential role in the success of our programs. By partnering with B.Y.E., you’re investing in the nextgeneration of creators, problem-solvers, and entrepreneurs. We invite you to connect with us, share your insights, and collaborate to inspire our youth.

Together, we can make a lasting difference.
