Every other business course gives you theory. Boom gives you a live business, real customers, and a shot at funded equity — while earning your degree.

Real Credentials

Three Boom certifications — Entrepreneurship, E-commerce, and Professional Selling — that employers and investors recognize.

Seed Capital on the Table

Top ventures from the ENT 500 Capstone receive $2,500–$5,000+ in non-dilutive funding. No equity given up. No investors to pitch.

AI-Powered Tools

Build with Claude AI from day one. Prototype faster, validate smarter, and develop a workflow that will follow you into any career.

A Live Marketplace

Boom Dealz gives you real inventory, real customers, and real revenue to practice on — not simulations.

Pitch Events & Community

Compete in public pitch events. Gain mentors. Get seen by community leaders, economic developers, and local investors.

Impact Where You Live

Your startup doesn't just exist in class — it creates jobs, solves problems, and grows roots in your hometown.

The Capital Loop

Your Venture Gets Funded Before You Graduate

We don't make you pitch VCs or give up equity. BoomEdu's Boom Dealz marketplace generates revenue that flows directly back to the top ventures coming out of the ENT 500 Capstone — no strings attached.

How the Capital Loop Works

  1. 1

    Students operate Boom Dealz marketplace → real revenue

  2. 2

    50% of platform revenue pools into seed grants

  3. 3

    ENT 500 top ventures receive $2,500–$5,000+ non-dilutive grants

Non-dilutive — you keep 100% of your equity
