MirmanX is a middle school startup accelerator that encourages Upper School students to tackle moonshot projects that have the potential to help a community in some meaningful, tangible way.

Mirman School provides the material resources and professional guidance to support an idea from genesis to market, and our students have an opportunity to truly innovate by thinking big and doing amazing things!

Students retain 100% of their intellectual property and project funding is fully derived through donations to Mirman School.

Recently, our 2024-25 cohort celebrated a year of work with a fantastic pitch night. Students created businesses around the theme of “innovating for a sustainable future,” and learned about the role that businesses play in preserving and protecting the environment, regardless of industries. Seven business teams were formed this year spanning a variety of industries from fashion to food, from tracking goals to tracking lost water bottles. MirmanX students spent their entire year researching, preparing, and prototyping! The students pitched to fantastic judges alum Ashley Felts '92-'96, Athletics Director Angela Brown; alum, Board of Trustees member, and parent Deron Quon '82-'86; alumni parent Monica Madan; and parent Sandy Heck (spouse of alum Bobbie (Andelson) Heck '86-'92). Winners of the evening will receive funding to start up their businesses in the near future. 

Congratulations to ALL our entrepreneurs!
