This series is different in two big ways:
1) Each Teen Entrepreneur event consists of our Pitch Drill and Cashless Incubator games held back to back per event to help players learn in a fun environment the basics of developing a business plan, presenting it, developing product ideas, market testing those ideas, and how to trade their skills for resources with little or no money. The Cashless Incubator game will be using headlines from the News & Record to come up with product ideas.
2) After completing a Teen Entrepreneur event, players have the opportunity to submit their own teen business idea to compete with seven others at our November 18th PitchPocalypse contest with $300 going to the winning startup along with great prizes for 2nd and 3rd place winners. Details provided on the entry form available to players of our Teen Entrepreneur Events.
The PitchPocalypse will have judges from the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce, Summit Credit Union, and UNCG’s North Carolina Entrepreneurship Center for the November 18th event at the Greensboro Public Library Central Branch. Shift, the Nussbaum Center’s Entrepreneur Group, is helping organize each of these events.
We’re still looking for judges with business backgrounds for some of our Teen Entrepreneur events so if you’re interested, please Contact Us with which events work best for your schedule.
The Cashless Incubator is a skills for resources trading game. It also teaches about contracts, market testing ideas, and investing.
The Cashless Incubator is one of the two games along with Pitch Drill that will be played at our upcoming Teen Entrepreneur Fall Series events starting Tuesday, October 7th at Greensboro Public Library branches sponsored by Summit Credit Union.
For those interested in the symbolism of our logo, hope you enjoy this video. It also gives an overview of what we do.
Don’t forget to RSVP your teens for one of our eight Teen Entrepreneur events at Greensboro Public Library branches for their chance at $300 and other prizes for launching their own startup. Click here for details.

Great event at Vance Chavis Library sponsored by Greensboro Municipal Federal Credit Union as both Pitch Drill and the new Cashless Incubator game were played. Big thanks to the participants which included 6 players who came out again after playing Economy, Jr. and this was the 3rd ReBuildUp event for one of those 6.
We got wrapped up in beta testing the new Cashless Incubator game and only managed to get in one picture of the action for the entire event:
Learning how to fill out a skills for resources contract
The Economic Literacy Summer Series sponsored by Greensboro Municipal Federal Credit Union has part two of ReBuildUp’s Jobs Course at Vance Chavis Library with Pitch Drill on Thursday, July 31st 6:00-7:30pm FREE for area teens.
We’ll also beta test the new Cashless Incubator game for participants after playing Pitch Drill. The Cashless Incubator is a hybrid of Economy, Jr. and Pitch Drill where players use contracts to trade their skills for resources they’ll use when coming up with a product to pitch to the other players in a :30 seconds commercial.
The top three winners with get a full :60 seconds to make an investment pitch to the other players. The winner is determined by who gets the most funding and we also spotlight the biggest investor. The goal is to show players how to market test their product ideas with little money.
Come on out and see both these games for yourself:
