BRING YOUR BRAVERY.
BUILD YOUR BOOM.
Brave has worked with 20,000+ people since 2016 and measured nearly 10,000 people. Our data set is growing, providing invaluable insight on how people feel, fear, and brave. This information allows us to iterate our programming for maximum impact.
We prioritize fun through experiential learning, helping people understand, move through, and build tools to manage their fear.
Bravery is a all-terrain skill. That is, you can learn it now and use it in every aspect of your life over the course of your full lifetime.
Bravery and confidence begin to drop at 9 years old.
Bravery and confidence are correlated.
Kid fears are different than adult fears.
Our biggest fear (by far) is failure.
