Marcus joined YES at 17 with a vague idea about sustainable packaging. Through the Business Planning program, he built a complete business plan, validated his market, and secured his first pilot customer. After completing the Finance program, he pitched to a local impact investor and raised $25,000 in seed funding. GreenLoop now supplies eco-friendly packaging to 12 local businesses.
