“Kidpreneur has inspired me by showing me that I'm not the only kid out here doing my thing in this business. That these kids have the same mindset as me & I'm not alone. My favorite part of Kidpreneur is definitely KID TANK because it really makes me happy to display my company to professionals & to get their feedback on it.” A'Kyler M. with Minyon's Catering (Age Group 14-16 years old)
