Let’s Make An

IMPACT

We help our country’s young entrepreneurs with limited resources make their business ideas a reality — and you can help! With Stealth Impact Lab, a formal 501(c)3 organization, we are helping the next generation of business leaders get started on their path TODAY.

 

How Are We Effecting Change?

Stealth Impact Lab is fundamentally committed to embedding social good into all that we do — from how we operate our day-to-day business to how we teach the next generation of entrepreneurs how to make their entrepreneurial dreams a business reality.

The Impact Lab’s five initiatives include:

  • Advancing economically vulnerable, teen Entrepreneurs through our 501c3 ecommerce Entrepreneur Academy, teaching our own IP, providing mentorship, and gifting startup funding.

  • Weaving social good into the fabric of business as a forethought in everything we do and teach.

  • Empowering team members to support causes that inspire them with 8 hours a month to volunteer for a cause of their choice.

  • Championing social good for a better world and better business through a variety of media and forums.

  • Supporting Entrepreneurs in need beyond marketing and mentorship.

“We’re passionate about programs that

work to solve socioeconomic disparities.”

 Opening Doors for Underserved Innovators 

Huge, universe-changing business ideas can come from anywhere. So why have investors and donors historically supported mainly privileged, white ideas, and those that already have financial means to get off the ground? Currently, there is little focus on helping young entrepreneurs with limited resources to implement, test, and sustain some of the most groundbreaking business concepts and dreams. That’s where your partnership with SVL’s Impact Lab comes in — we’re here to catapult those overlooked and underserved entrepreneurs who are ready to bring innovative solutions to today’s social problems.

Vanguard Training

The Academy design is highly focused on successful whole entrepreneur outcomes, not just teaching a marketing course. Our team scours the community to find the sharpest, serious-minded, hard-working young entrepreneurs who are in it to win it — lifting themselves up, and creating unlimited opportunities for themselves and those around them.

 

Success Starts Here

Meet the next generation of CEOs. You may not recognize them now, but these changemakers are on their way to becoming household names — and creating a positive global impact.

 How The Program Works

Each young entrepreneur enrolled in Impact Lab’s Entrepreneur Academy will participate in a four-month program valued at $25,000. Entrepreneurs will receive “in-the-trenches” real-world knowledge and skills from SVL’s seasoned marketing experts to establish, grow, and sustain an online company from scratch in current times, along with mentorship, and startup funding.

Entrepreneurs will learn the ins and outs of leading-edge e-commerce strategies used profitably with our clients, including go-to-market blueprinting, financial planning & analysis, brand identity, copywriting, UI/UX, marketing basics, e-commerce website buildout, and more. SVL experts teach their skills and provide the tools, and resources that will be necessary to be successful, live infinite lives, and make an impact in their own right. Every Entrepreneur Academy entrepreneur has a planned way to give back as a forethought, which is built into their business model from the start.

 Donate to a More Colorful Future

Did you know 60% of Black adolescents live in low-income families, as do 59% of Hispanic and 56% of Native youth? These are the budding innovators we need to support as soon as possible. With the help of your 100% tax-deductible donation, we can give the next generation of entrepreneurs the knowledge, tools, and support to fund and implement their life-changing ideas.

The SVL team has been doing this work for years behind the scenes, and it’s time to ramp up the level of impact we can influence. Not only are we passionate about creating lasting, meaningful change, but we have the capacity and expertise to do it. We will close the gap for economically underserved and marginalized teens who have the determination and drive to change the future.

We know it sounds cheesy, but a rising tide truly does lift up all boats. By supporting young entrepreneurs who wouldn’t otherwise have the means to scale their revolutionary ideas, you’re creating a future of young CEOs who will:

▶︎ Become self-sufficient in creating an income while working for themselves

▶︎ Learn business practices that will stay with them for a lifetime

▶︎ Learn how to profitably and sustainably grow a company

▶︎ Learn how to build cause into their business model as a budget item for them to give back

▶︎ Employ people, provide benefits, grow the community

▶︎ Learn to create family wealth and live engaged lives
