LaunchX Wins Double Recognition from Global Brand Frontier Awards 2025 for Shaping the Future of Youth Entrepreneurship
Boston Brand Research & Media honors LaunchX with prestigious recognition for scaling youth entrepreneurship education and empowering high school students
This prestigious global award recognition reflects a landmark year for LaunchX. The 2025 cycle marked its largest year on record, bringing together 700+ “Launchies” from across the United States and beyond. Building on that scale, LaunchX is expanding both access and depth in 2026 with a broader slate of programs designed to deliver some of the most comprehensive and impactful youth entrepreneurship experiences available today—programs that students not only love, but that also provide practical, market-tested skills that prepare them to launch real ventures.
The recognition follows a period of meaningful growth in both participation and programming. Across 2025–2026, LaunchX has introduced three new programs specifically structured to help students move from ideation to validation to launch with greater speed, clarity, and confidence. Its learning model emphasizes:
1) Team-based venture building focused on solving real-world problems;
2) Mentor engagement with experienced founders and industry professionals; and
3) Customer discovery and market testing, ensuring ideas are validated by real users.
By combining classroom rigor with live, experiential startup-building, LaunchX has positioned itself as one of the most dynamic and fast-growing youth entrepreneurship education platforms in North America, with scale, curriculum depth, and learner outcomes that continue to accelerate year over year.
“Recognizing LaunchX with these two prestigious awards reflects the organization’s dedication to creating meaningful opportunities for young people to turn ideas into action,” said Shivakumar, President & CEO of Boston Brand Research & Media. “In a rapidly evolving world, LaunchX continues to stand at the forefront of entrepreneurial education by providing a platform where talent, creativity, and leadership can thrive. As one of the most reputed and highly regarded global award recognition platforms, the Global Brand Frontier Awards is proud to highlight LaunchX’s pivotal role in shaping the future of youth entrepreneurship in the United States and across North America.”
Forest Richter, President of LaunchX commented: “We’re deeply honored that LaunchX has been recognized as Best Youth Entrepreneurship Education – United States, 2025 and Fastest-Growing Youth Entrepreneurship Education – North America, 2025.
At LaunchX, we believe the entrepreneurial journey is one of the most powerful ways for young people to discover their potential. Having lived through the long hours, setbacks, and triumphs of building companies myself, I know how challenging it can be. That’s why this recognition means so much, it’s proof that we’re making that journey just a little easier for the next generation of founders.
Most of all, this award belongs to our incredible students, mentors, and community. They’re the ones turning bold ideas into real ventures, and we’re proud to be in their corner, celebrating every win along the way.”
