Man Can

When Hart Main was 13 years old, he wanted to get an expensive bike. He couldn't think of how to make enough money, until he remembered that his sister sold candles for a school event. Hart decided to make his own candles with more masculine scents.

My opinion

I think that this is a smart idea because it markets an idea to a new audience. However, I wouldn't buy any because I don't think I'd like the scents that much.

Brown Girls Stationery

28boylee — 2024-04-08 13:33:39 UTC

When Kamaria was 7, she went shopping for her birthday party and realized that there were no product options made for brown or black girls. Because of this, Kamaria and her mom started Brown Girls Stationery together.

My opinion

I think that this is a really good idea because it gives a place for underrepresented girls and women to shop for stationery, backpacks, and school supplies.

Kangaroo Cup

When Lily Born was 8, she noticed that her grandmother was often cleaning up spills because her grandfather had Parkinson's and struggled to balance his cup. In order to make it easier on both of her grandparents, Lily came up with the 3-legged cup, which always stays upright and balanced.

My opinion

28boylee — 2024-04-08 13:41:08 UTC

Personally, I wouldn't buy this right now because I don't have a use for it. I do think that it's a good idea that helps out people who sometimes struggle to keep things upright, like grandparents, great-grandparents, and young children.

Power Pony

28boylee — 2024-04-08 13:46:01 UTC

When Mia was 5, she, like many other children, asked for a pony. Unfortunately, she lived in a suburban area where there just wasn't room. Instead of giving up on her dreams, Mia found a way to get her pony. She and her dad worked together to create a motorized pony toy that moves around like a real pony.

My opinion

28boylee — 2024-04-08 13:47:04 UTC

This is such a cool idea! A lot of kids might feel like they're missing out because they can't have a pony or horse, but this lets them have fun without disrupting others. I would definitely have bought this if I were younger.

Four Seasons Pastry

28boylee — 2024-04-08 13:50:57 UTC

One year for her mom's birthday, Vinusha made a cake that just didn't turn out how she wanted. She tried and tried again, eventually figuring out the perfect cake. Now, not only does Vinusha sell her cupcakes, she also sells a baking kit for young kids. She also interns under top chefs in India.

My opinion

28boylee — 2024-04-08 13:52:38 UTC

Creating a baking kit for kids made by a kid is a really smart idea. Baking kits for kids exist already, but having one that is created and developed by a young girl can be beneficial because it is tested and approved by someone in the same age range as the consumer.

Mo's Bows

28boylee — 2024-04-08 13:54:00 UTC

Moziah Bridges loved dressing up in fancier clothes even at a young age, but could never find a bowtie that he loved. Instead of giving up, he started Mo's Bows, which sells bowties, ties, and other men's accessories in many different designs and colors.

My opinion

28boylee — 2024-04-16 12:42:39 UTC

I think that this is a really good idea. Sometimes, it can be hard to find stuff that suits your style perfectly, and this is a good way to solve that issue not only for Moziah himself, but many others that benefit from this business.

Kiki's Kindness Project

28boylee — 2024-04-16 12:43:19 UTC

When young Kiki found out that some kids had to skip meals so that they could escape debt from school lunches, she knew she had to do something about it. At age 5, Hardee began selling baked goods and doing other fundraisers in order to pay off the debt for others. She raised enough to get rid of the debt from her district completely and is still going!

My opinion

28boylee — 2024-04-16 12:49:01 UTC

I really love this idea because it's an amazing way to give back to your community and be able to help out in any way you can. This might be one of my favorite business ideas!
