TLEEM is a international non-profit organization founded by Arjun Sharda that focuses on helping K-12 students and young adults build networking skills.[1]
Founding
TLEEM was first formed in September 2023[2] as a school club at Running Brushy Middle School in Leander, Texas aiming to help students develop and sharpen their skills in technology, leadership, entrepreneurship, engineering, and mathematics.[3] Sharda eventually filed TLEEM as a nonprofit corporation in Round Rock, Texas on October 29, 2023, and as a 501(c)(3) organization with the Internal Revenue Service on November 14, 2023.[4][5] As of November 2024, TLEEM has accumulated a membership of over 1,000 through its flagship chapters program.[6]
Mission
TLEEM's mission is to help young individuals network through school & community clubs.[6]
Programs and impact
TLEEM services a flagship chapters program, which deploys school & community clubs worldwide where K-12 and young adults are able to network.[citation needed]
TLEEM has also released the TLEEM Educational License (TEL) in 2024, which is the first source-available license to be developed by a middle schooler.[7]
In April 2025, TLEEM launched a new program titled Allagi Capital, which provides non-equity based microgrants in the Austin, Texas metropolitan area, aiming to provide funding to student-led projects, particularly to student founders who are low income or of a under-served population.[8][9][10]
