Most enrichment programmes hand your teenager a certificate. StartupToGo hands them a live product on the open web, a pitch deck universities take seriously, and the confidence of having stood on a Demo Day stage and presented something they built themselves.

Your teenager already has school, tutoring, maybe a coding class, maybe a sport. The calendar is full. So the question isn't "what else can they do" — it's "what will actually matter when they apply to university, and when they walk into adult life?"
Coding classes teach a skill. Business camps teach a theory. Both end the same way: a worksheet, a simulation, a certificate that looks like every other certificate.
Universities have seen thousands of those. What stops an admissions officer is different: a student who identified a real problem, built a working product, and presented it to a room of adults. That's what your child walks away with here.
Your teenager opens their laptop and shows you a live website — a real app, on the open web, that they designed and built. They walk you through the problem they chose to solve and why. They hand you a 10-slide pitch deck. And they tell you about the night they stood on a stage at their school and pitched it to parents, teachers, and their peers.
That's not a hypothetical. Fourteen students at Arab International Academy in Lusail did exactly that in April 2026. Every one of them finished. Every one of them shipped a real product.
Not an essay about entrepreneurship — a live product with a real URL. Opportunity recognition, customer research, a business model, and a shipped MVP. Real evidence of initiative and follow-through.
Your child uses AI the way the next decade of work will demand — as a thinking tool, not a shortcut. Structured prompting, AI-assisted analysis, responsible use. The single most future-proof skill they can build right now.
A pitch deck for applications. A story for the UCAS personal statement or Common App. The confidence that comes from having presented on a real stage. Admissions officers notice students who made something.
The usual path
The StartupToGo path
Your child doesn't need another class. They need to ship something real and present it — and walk away with proof they can build.
No coding background. No business experience. No pressure. AI guides your child through each step, and a teacher facilitates — so the structure carries them from idea to stage.
Define a real problem, a real user, and a solution. Get an AI score with concrete next steps.
Design a survey, gather real responses, and pull out insights.
Map out how the idea actually works: value, revenue, costs.
Decide the smallest version worth building first.
Generate a 10-slide investor-style deck — and present it on Demo Day.
Six sessions. One school term. One stage your child will remember for years.
These are live apps built by Grade 9–12 students at AIA Lusail in six sessions. Every one is a real URL on the open web. Click any of them — they work.

I never thought I could build a business idea from scratch. StartupToGo walked me through every step — and by the end I had a real pitch deck I was proud to present.

StartupToGo is built by Bilal Riyad — 14 years at Microsoft, former Director of Product at Workday, now mentoring founders at Orbit Startups GCC and Qatar's MCIT Digital Incubation Center. He runs it from Doha. When you reach out, you hear from him directly — not a sales team.
Backed by Replit (free coding credits for every student), ThirtyDays.ai, and the Fursa Foundation. QFC licensed · B Tech Global LLC · CR 03125 Qatar.
No. The entire journey runs on guided steps and AI assistance. Any motivated student can complete it, whatever their technical background. Replit sponsors the coding credits, so there is no setup on your side either.
One school term — six sessions of about 90 to 120 minutes each. It is built to fit around a full schedule, not compete with it. Students who miss a session catch up on the platform on their own time.
A validated startup idea scored by AI, a customer survey with real responses, a Business Model Canvas, an MVP plan, a live product on the open web with a real URL, a 10-slide pitch deck — and a Certificate of Completion from B Tech Global LLC. Real, showable proof.
Both. StartupToGo runs cohorts inside schools, and there is a self-paced Digital Only option starting at QAR 200 per student per year (minimum 10 students). Tell Bilal your situation on WhatsApp and he will point you to the right path — and, if your school does not run it yet, show you how to bring it to them.
Yes — and many parents are the reason a school starts. Message Bilal on WhatsApp at +974 520 46 176 and he will explain the fastest route for your family — whether that is direct enrolment in a Digital Only cohort or making the introduction to your school.
One message. WhatsApp Bilal at +974 520 46 176 and you will hear back within 24 hours — from the founder directly, not a sales team.
A school term from now, your teenager could have a live product, a pitch deck, and the memory of a stage — or another certificate in a drawer. The difference is one message.
