What if your high school project didn’t just end with graduation?
In this episode of The Young Collaborators Podcast Series, we meet Kofi Hair-Ralston (16) - a visionary teen founder on a mission to make student-led impact sustainable and scalable.
Kofi is the Founder of VenturEd Global, which has connected 320+ underrepresented students to global tech opportunities and a Founding Partner at EGG Labs, an incubator powering 20+ student ventures.
This discussion dives into how real infrastructure, mentorship and mission-driven leadership can transform youth projects into movements that last, even after the founders move on.
This is a must-listen for anyone passionate about the future of youth entrepreneurship, equity in tech and building systems that outlast individuals.
🎧 Tune in to hear how one young changemaker is rewriting the rules of what students can build.
