LaunchX, a leader in youth entrepreneurship education, has been recognized with two top honors from the Global Brand Frontier Awards 2025: “Best Youth Entrepreneurship Education – United States, 2025” and “Fastest-Growing Youth Entrepreneurship Education – North America, 2025.” Conducted by Boston Brand Research & Media, the awards underscore LaunchX’s sustained momentum and impact in equipping high school students with real-world startup skills through rigorous, hands-on learning. The 2025 cycle marked LaunchX’s largest year on record, bringing together 700+ Launchies nationwide. Building on that scale, LaunchX is broadening access and depth with an expanded program slate in 2026, reflecting its focus on delivering the best youth entrepreneurship experiences that students not only love, but gain practical, market-tested skills from.
The recognition follows a year of meaningful growth in both participation and programming. LaunchX has introduced three new programs across 2025–2026, designed to help students move from ideation to validation to launch with greater speed and confidence. The learning model emphasizes team-based venture building, mentor engagement, and real customer discovery, so that students graduate with tangible skills in problem framing, market testing, and pitching. Together, these developments position LaunchX as one of the most dynamic platforms for youth entrepreneurship education in North America, with scale, curriculum rigor, and learner outcomes that continue to accelerate.
“Recognizing LaunchX with these two prestigious awards reflects the organization’s dedication to creating meaningful opportunities for young people to turn ideas into action,” said Shivakumar, President & CEO of Boston Brand Research & Media. “In a rapidly evolving world, LaunchX continues to stand at the forefront of entrepreneurial education by providing a platform where talent, creativity, and leadership can thrive.”
Forest Richter, President of LaunchX commented: “We’re deeply honored that LaunchX has been recognized as Best Youth Entrepreneurship Education – United States, 2025 and Fastest-Growing Youth Entrepreneurship Education – North America, 2025.
At LaunchX, we believe the entrepreneurial journey is one of the most powerful ways for young people to discover their potential. Having lived through the long hours, setbacks, and triumphs of building companies myself, I know how challenging it can be.

Most of all, this award belongs to our incredible students, mentors, and community. They’re the ones turning bold ideas into real ventures, and we’re proud to be in their corner, celebrating every win along the way.”
