This spring, five Boerne Independent School District students won first place in Incubator.edu@Boerne’s second annual entrepreneurial competition, receiving a check for $7,000 in recognition of their company’s comprehensive business plan.
The Bonsai Chef team – comprised of seniors Ishi Estacio, Ethan Coffin, Ty Alexander and Leo Petrui and junior Chase Balderas – was mentored by Glenn Coward, president and CEO of CapabilitySource.
Established to bring real world experience into the classroom, the Incubator. edu@Boerne program matches students with mentors in the community to guide them through the process of developing a corporate idea and company. Coward worked with the five youths for seven months, helping them hone their vision for their company, think through potential challenges and opportunities and create a viable, sustainable business model.
