Young Entrepreneurs Padlet by Brielle Bullock

John Feinsilber- Gimkit

At 19 years old, Josh developed his enterprise, Gimkit, during a brainstorming session for an unrelated idea while in high school. Gimkit is an education based quiz mobile app and lets teachers create resources in the form of game-style quizzes.

I think Josh's idea of Gimkit is amazing because I use Gimkit all the time and it helps me understand the class material better.

Ben Pasternak

in 2016, Australian tech entrepreneur Ben Pasternak developed his first app, Impossible Rush, because he was bored in class at school. The app grossed higher than both Tinder and Twitter, peaking at number 16 on the iOS App Store charts with millions of downloads.

I think Ben Pasternak's app is amazing and it's hard to make an app and let alone get people to download it so he deserves all the money and credit he got.

Zandra Cunningham

Driven by her parent’s refusal to buy her a new lip balm, young entrepreneur Zandra Cunningham set out to make her own, at home, at nine years old. Just under a year later she went on to launch Azariah’s Innocence, retailing lip balms and body butters packed with natural ingredients at a local farmer’s market.

I think Zandra's idea is good because since her parent's refused to buy her a new lip balm she chose to make her own.

Erik Finman

Erik Finman’s parents said if he could turn a $1000 into $1 million then he didn’t have to go to college,Finman turned his attention to crypto currency, purchasing a haul of the currency at a value of $12. By the age of 18 his Crypto portfolio had a value in excess of $1 million, hence upholding the deal he made with his parents.

I think Erik's idea is smart because he made $1 million dollars!

Mikaila Ulmer

Mikaila Ulmer started a business known as ‘Me & The Bees Lemonade’, the product sells more than half a million units a year in over 1,500 outlets across the United States. Now, Ulmer has turned her attention towards developing other product lines, like a newly launched natural beeswax lip balm.

I like Mikaila's idea because she is young for her age so it's nice that she's already making her own money and learning about how to do business.

Langston Whitlock

28bullockb — 2023-11-13 13:53:49 UTC

Langston Whitlock developed his first messaging app at just twelve years old. Since then, the Atlanta-based entrepreneur has co-founded SAFETRIP, a healthcare-based ridesharing app to help non-emergency patients reach healthcare settings affordably.

I think this idea is helpful because people get hurt all the time and not everyone can afford lots of hospital bills.

Cory Nieves

28bullockb — 2023-11-13 13:58:33 UTC

Cory Nieves specializes in delightful all-natural flavoured cookies and sweet treats and has already found himself working with huge names like Mercedes-Benz, Ralph Lauren and Whole Foods.

I like Cory's idea because I love cookies and would love to try an all-natural flavoured one.

Benjamin Kapelushnik

28bullockb — 2023-11-13 14:01:09 UTC

Brooklyn-born Benjamin Kapelushnik earned his first million dollars in sales revenue at just 16 years old. His business ventures involve the purchasing and reselling of high-value, exclusive footwear collections to high profile clients including DJ Khaled, Floyd Mayweather and Kevin Hart.

I like his idea because he got to meet so many celebrities and I love kevin hart.
