About us
EduPreneur Global is a Boston-based entrepreneurship incubator for students aged 15–18, open to students everywhere. Through the Young Founder Challenge, a 4-week Program and an incubator, students learn to find a real problem, build a solution with AI, and pitch it to mentors and judges.
We empower young people to become founders by guiding them to identify problems, harness AI, and turn ideas into real solutions. Through this journey, they grow as leaders, sharpen their execution, and build valuable networks so they’re ready for opportunities and challenges in the future.
Meet the Founding Team
EduPreneur Global is led by three co-founders with one shared goal: giving young people an early start on recognizing and building their potential.
Elizabeth Chan
Co-founder
Elizabeth combines an investor’s eye, an educator’s craft, and a global perspective shaped by living and working across four countries. Her entrepreneurial journey began at 15, when she founded a nonprofit advancing girls’ education; her commitment to social impact has since extended to charitable initiatives in Malawi and Central Asia. She went on to build a career in finance and venture capital.
Today, she works at the intersection of entrepreneurship and education at Harvard and serves on the board of the Harvard China Education Symposium. Bringing together an investor’s judgment and an educator’s methodology, she is committed to empowering students to move beyond ideas and build something of their own.
Lilly Liu
Co-founder
Lilly is a serial founder working at the intersection of AI and education. She has founded two AI+EdTech companies, backed by early-stage funding and supported by programs including Harvard Innovation Lab and the Tsinghua Zhipu AI incubator. She was a delegate at the 2026 United Nations ECOSOC Youth Forum, has judged the China Education Symposium’s Global Innovation Competition, and received the EFDF 2025 Entrepreneurial Pioneer Award for Disability Inclusion.
Before becoming a founder, she researched AI evaluation and innovation at Harvard Business School and Boston College.
Jocelyn Fu
Co-founder
Jocelyn is a Silicon Valley AI product leader who has built products at Google, Square, and leading AI unicorns, where she led 0-to-1 AI agent launches. She holds degrees from Harvard and Stanford and began her career at McKinsey & Company.
Outside of her work, Jocelyn has been a longtime Harvard College Alumni Interviewer and former admissions counselor. Combining frontline AI product experience with a deep understanding of young talent, she is dedicated to empowering students to harness AI and create work of real impact.
Why Now?
AI has changed who gets to build, but the tools alone aren’t enough. What matters now is knowing which problems are worth solving, how to turn insight into a viable idea, and how to lead others in making it real. These are founder skills, and most schools still treat them as extras rather than essentials.
The result is a widening gap: the opportunity to build has never been more accessible to young people, yet few are ever taught how to seize it.
We started EduPreneur Global to close that gap: because the students who learn to think like founders now, whether they go on to launch startups, lead companies, or serve their communities, will be the ones shaping what comes next.
