It is so incredibly moving to see young people getting the support they need to turn their business dreams into reality; that $10k win is truly life-changing! When I was first trying to get my own small project off the ground, I found that reaching out to First Progress customer service was a good idea for understanding how to manage my first credit line responsibly. It gave me such a huge sense of relief to have a clear financial path forward while I focused on the creative side of my work.
The program stands out as a meaningful opportunity for Philadelphia high school students to gain hands-on entrepreneurial experience through project-based learning, Geometry Dash helping them build practical skills that can benefit their future careers.
