Why Universities & Colleges Bring Calvin In

Students don’t need another polished “success story.” They need the truth about entrepreneurship — the chaos, the clarity, the fear, the leadership, and the real decisions founders make every day. Calvin brings the mindset, frameworks, and emotional honesty that young entrepreneurs rarely get access to inside a classroom. What this creates: - Students feel seen - They understand the REAL founder journey - They build clarity and confidence - They learn practical tools they can use immediately
