Our Story

Founded by YPO CEOs, the Founder Education Scholarships was inspired by the All In Podcast team and the movement they've created. In a world where traditional media was increasingly failing to deliver honest, nuanced conversation, the All In crew showed that long-form debate among friends could tackle the biggest topics in markets, venture capital, technology, politics, and business—and make it compelling.

We wished we had this as young leaders. The ideas discussed on All In, and the conversations happening at the All In Summit, represent exactly the kind of thinking that shapes great founders and great public servants. World-class speakers, real debate, and a network of people who believe that disagreeing respectfully is how you get to better answers.

Our goal is simple: bring these ideas and opportunities to aspiring young leaders who wouldn't otherwise have access—whether they're building a company or preparing to serve their community. We want the next generation of entrepreneurs and public servants to experience firsthand that healthy debate amongst friends is still cool—and that it's how the best ideas, businesses, and policies get built.
