ABOUT OUR COMPANY
I started my career in the tech boom and loved the rapid growth and evolution of the industry. As I started raising my kids I wanted them to learn how innovation is changing the world and their future.
Now with AI, the landscape of business is all new and developing faster and changing careers. We may not know what careers will exist in 10 years, but we know what skills our children will need to compete - a growth mindset, problem-solving, flexibility and resilience- all of which can be learned through entrepreneurship.
Young CEO Squad, was built to help kids 8-12 develop the mindset & skills needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
Our Kids Business Start-Up Kits teach important business concepts presented simply for younger kids (8-12). It's a great STEM activity focused on entrepreneurship. The kits contains a guide, worksheets and products to sell.
Young CEO Squad Helps Kids:
-
Have a successful first experience in business
-
Set goals
-
Earn money right away, no lemons to squeeze
-
Price products and calculate ROI (return on investment)
-
Understand the product's benefits and answer questions about them

Discover What’s So Amazing
When children are actively, physically and intellectually engaged in learning, they are invested and are more motivated to learn.
This hands-on STEM activity gives kids a profitable, quick, and fun experience starting their own kid business. We teach them about pricing products, tracking sales and figuring out if they made a profit. The activity can be completed in one morning outside your favorite coffee shop.
We'll Guide Them
On Their Own or With Parent Help
Parents want their kids to find hobbies aside from video games but they don't have the time to lead their child through a big project. Young CEO Squad kits will excite the kids and their parents and hopefully spur a love for entrepreneurship.
​
Our Getting Started guide is written in plain speak appropriate for ages 8-12. Motivated kids can finish reading the guide in one hour and start making money immediately.
WE BELIEVE
• Failure is just an opportunity for growth
• Business helps kids develop accountability
• If the child's first business experience is a success and fun, they will be interested in entrepreneurism in the future
• Kid business can help develop self-confidence and communication skills
• Activity-based learning is key to kids absorbing educational experiences
• For kids who have a lot of free time, a kid business can channel their creative energy into a productive venture
• Entrepreneurs of all ages are problem-solvers and learn to recover from obstacles
Watch Them Flourish
Earn Money Right Away, No Lemons To Squeeze
By selling most of the products included in their kit, kids can make back the cost of the kit plus earn a great profit. Teach them to reinvest that profit into more supplies for their business and the success will grow! And your kitchen doesn't even get sticky!
