Lead a community of ambitious students exploring business, AI, and entrepreneurship - with Hinksey Labs supporting your journey.

What is a Hinksey Club?

For ambitious students ready to make an impact

Hinksey Clubs are student-led business communities where high school students meet for real-world case discussions, hands-on projects, and sessions with industry experts. Backed by Hinksey Labs, each club runs with a level of structure and support that a typical school club can't match.

Who we're
looking for

We seek curious, motivated students who bring diverse strengths and experiences and are ready to lead a community. Don’t be discouraged if you don’t meet every criterion - we review every application holistically.

Academic Excellence

Students in Grades 9-12 with a strong academic record, such as a GPA of 3.7+ (US), AAA at A-Level (UK), or an IB score of 36+. Equivalent achievements in other education systems are equally welcome.

Intellectual Curiosity

A genuine curiosity about business, economics, entrepreneurship, artificial intelligence, or social impact is what we value most.

Motivation and Commitment

No prior club leadership experience is required. However, enthusiasm, initiative, the ability to engage others, and the drive to create something meaningful are essential.

As a club leader, you’ll be expected to:

  • Form a committee with other student leaders.
  • Partner with a faculty advisor at your school.
  • Host at least two club meetings each month during term time.
