Your IB students don't need another case study. They need a real startup idea, a real product, and a real pitch deck they built themselves. StartupToGo gives them all three — in one school term.
Personal Project (MYP)
Students define a real-world problem, build a product, and present it — identical to PP structure.
Extended Essay
The idea evaluation and customer validation modules develop the research and evidence skills EE requires.
CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service)
Building a startup from scratch satisfies Creativity and can be framed as Service if the problem is community-focused.
Design Thinking (Design cycle)
Modules 1–4 follow investigate → plan → create → evaluate exactly.
TOK (Theory of Knowledge)
AI ethics, responsible AI use, and human–AI collaboration are discussed throughout the programme.
Every output is portfolio-ready. Every output strengthens a university personal statement. Every output is something a student can point to.
A scored startup idea with AI recommendations (Module 1)
A real customer discovery survey with responses (Module 2)
A completed Business Model Canvas (Module 3)
A RICE-prioritised MVP plan (Module 4)
A 10-slide investor pitch deck, presented on Demo Day (Module 5)
University admissions tutors read thousands of personal statements that say “I am passionate about business.” Yours will say something different.
Your student will say: I identified a problem nobody was solving. I validated it with real customers. I built a product. I pitched it on stage.
That is not a workshop certificate. That is a founder story — and it fits in one paragraph.
Yes. The programme is designed for IB and international schools. The 5-module structure maps directly onto Personal Project, Extended Essay research methods, the CAS Creativity strand, the Design Thinking cycle, and TOK discussions around AI ethics. Your IB coordinator will recognise the structure on the first call.
Yes. The build-and-pitch nature of the programme satisfies CAS Creativity directly, and can be framed as Service when the student's product solves a community problem. Each session delivers documented student work — portfolio evidence your CAS coordinator can sign off without extra paperwork.
Zero between sessions. The platform is AI-guided end-to-end — your teacher facilitates while the AI scores, prefills, and provides feedback. Your facilitator needs no business background and no coding experience. The structure carries the cohort from idea to live product in six sessions.
Every student finishes with a validated startup idea, a customer discovery survey, a Business Model Canvas, an MVP plan, a 10-slide pitch deck, and a live product on the open web with a real URL. That portfolio is something they can point to in a personal statement — not just a workshop certificate.
