June 8-12, 2026 | 9 am-3 pm
This workshop is geared towards creative thinkers who want to learn how to focus their energy towards solving real-world problems. We will talk to entrepreneurs from around the city, and learn the fundamentals of starting our own businesses. While we will keep in mind that we may have to start small, we will also learn how to dream big. The week will culminate in a "Shark Tank" style event where entrepreneurs will showcase their products and business plans to compete for "virtual" venture capital.
Cost: $475 Early Bird. $525 after April 10, 2026

Hello! My name is Leland Jones and I'm an AP Computer Science and European History teacher here at Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory. I graduated UC Berkeley as a member of the class of 2019 and am currently pursuing a Master's in the Art of Teaching at the University of San Francisco. Before beginning my career in education I worked in software product management, a field in which I had the chance to learn many of the skills, strategies and lessons I hope to take you through during our time together this summer. I look forward to the start of your entrepreneurial journey.
