What Factor members have to say

Teens and parents love Factor.

Factor is almost like dating with industries. You sift around to see what you’re into. Not all of it is going to be great and that is okay because you find what you are interested in. It is a great way to meet cool people in cool environments.

Robby
Factor Member, 16

The only complaint I have is that they have yet to provide the 40-something-year-old parents with the time machine to transport them back to the late 90s and offer the same support. I think Factor is pretty spectacular and I’ve absolutely loved watching them light the fire of ambition and motivation for my son.

Melinda
Factor Mom

Factor is for everybody. There are so many different things that we do. You will find something that you are passionate about along the way. I have definitely found things that I have loved and it’s always fun seeing what’s next.
