The last four years has been an incredible journey that left our team speechless says Andrea Gerosa, Chief Thinker at ThinkYoung Speechless about the growing passion of young people for entrepreneurship, speechless about the daily engagement of our partners and speechless about the worldwide expansion of our school. In 2015 we have schools for teenagers, the launch of our online courses, more than 200 scholarships for underprivileged kids and Taylor Swift as ambassador. We don’t know what the next four years will look like, but we are working harder and harder to fulfil our mission: create the first school without professor to inspire young people to be entrepreneurial”
