S.C.H.O.O.L.S

At the No Boundaries Pitch Competition, Dr. Valencia Belle won first place and a $10,000 prize for her startup, S.C.H.O.O.L.S.—an ACT and SAT prep program helping students earn scholarships and graduate without debt. The experience provided more than funding. It connected her to investors, sparked new growth ideas, and helped refine her strategy through CofounderOS.

To date, Belle has secured over $1 million in contracts and expanded her reach from the U.S. to Nigeria. She is now exploring corporate partnerships to offer test prep as an employee benefit.

"No Boundaries gave me more than a prize," Belle said. "It sharpened my thinking, expanded my reach, and helped me see how big this business can really become."
