Students attending a GuessWorks entrepreneurship workshop in a classroom

The next generation of founders is already in your classroom.

We introduce young people to entrepreneurship in a way that’s genuinely exciting - hands-on, relevant, and actually fun. Students leave with new skills, new confidence, and more often than not a business idea they can’t stop thinking about.

Why schools love it

It builds confidence in neurodiverse learners.

Entrepreneurship rewards the skills that neurodiverse brains are wired for - spotting patterns others miss, thinking differently, taking creative leaps. Our sessions are designed with neuroinclusion in mind, from the format of challenges to how we structure feedback. For students who’ve always felt like the odd one out, this is often the first time school feels made for them.

It opens up careers they didn’t know existed.

Students meet founders, innovators and leaders from all kinds of backgrounds - people they can actually see themselves in. It broadens their sense of what’s possible and gives them role models who don’t fit the traditional mould.

It makes them stand out.

Whether they are applying to university or going straight into work, the skills they build with us are the ones that get noticed - creativity, commercial thinking, resilience, and the confidence to back themselves. Real entrepreneurship experience that looks great on any application.

What we offer

  • One-off or a series. Students learn to spot problems worth solving, test ideas with real potential customers, think commercially, and build something from scratch. Designed for the age group, immediately applicable.

  • Founders and innovators sharing what it’s really like to start a business - the honest answers, not the polished ones. What went wrong. What they’d do differently. Students love it.

  • A week, a day, or half term - whatever works for you. Programmes and summer schools students will love and parents will feel great about. They leave with real skills and a lot more confidence than they arrived with.

  • "Working with GuessWorks has been such a fantastic experience. The team, led by Hattie, brings clarity, creativity and real momentum to every project; they ask the right questions, push thinking further, and deliver with a ton of professionalism and real heart. They feel less like an agency and more like an extension of our team – definitely part of the family!"

    LJ Silverman, Head of LSE Generate

  • "It's been an absolute pleasure working with Hattie and the team at GuessWorks. They've been a fantastic partner in helping us shape our international innovation programmes — bringing in the right industry experts, providing brilliant coaching, and always going the extra mile to make sure the experience lands well for participants."

    Hiten Thakrar, Programme Manager, Imperial

  • "The sessions were full of energy, new ideas and challenges for the founders. Some founders think they know how to pitch, but the GuessWork sessions take it to another level and give value to even the most confident pitchers. The sessions were so useful and well run, I have integrated them as part of a new accelerator as preparation for an investor Demo Day. "

    Greg Jones, EnSpire Stakeholder Manager, University of Oxford
