Build Biz. Bring Buzz.
BizBuzz NFP is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Naperville, Illinois. Built on the belief that every student deserves access to entrepreneurial education that helps them find their ideas—and the confidence to share them—we offer a completely free platform designed by students, for students. In a city where 90% of K-8 schools offer no business education, we set out in April 2024 to change that.
Let's turn imagination into innovation.
