Workshops
Students collaborate in small groups to build business ideas and pitch them to potential investors — growing creativity, confidence, and teamwork.
Student-led nonprofit
We bring hands-on business education to underserved students — turning their ideas into real businesses through workshops, mentorship, and live marketplaces.
Built by Dede Web DesignBrightBiz is a student-led nonprofit providing entrepreneurship education to underserved students. We use a hands-on, experiential approach to turn ideas into actual businesses — nurturing teamwork, financial decision-making, and the confidence to lead.
What began as one student's vision has grown into a nationally expanding initiative. Through BrightBiz, Sofia has connected hundreds of volunteers with students bringing their entrepreneurial dreams to life — and was honored with the Miami-Dade Youth Commission Changemaker Award for closing the opportunity gap for young entrepreneurs.
From our roots in Miami to Atlanta, New York, and Los Angeles — and still expanding.
Every educational cycle moves students from a first idea to a real business — and back into their community.
Students collaborate in small groups to build business ideas and pitch them to potential investors — growing creativity, confidence, and teamwork.
Live events where students showcase the businesses they've built, selling and marketing real products to real customers.
Personalized guidance from volunteers and local entrepreneurs who share insight, expertise, and inspiration as students navigate real challenges.
We partner with schools and local organizations so our programs reach the students who need them most.
At the end of every cycle, students take over the floor — running their own booths, selling to real customers, and making real-time decisions. Families and neighbors are always welcome.
Our next marketplace is in the works. Follow along on Instagram or get involved to be the first to know.
