About us

Founded By Kids is both a resource and a platform for anyone interested in teaching or learning about entrepreneurship. We believe that entrepreneurial thinking is a basic skill that should be taught to all kids.

Our Program

Our program has a completely unique approach to teaching students about the business world. In our classroom lessons, students learn to create, operate, and present their business. Our curriculum includes the opportunity to take part in child-led business fairs organized by us where they can present their products to the general public. This gives them a chance to test their inventions and get feedback in a real-life setting.

To create a real connection for students, we will take them to visit businesses and explore their current environment. We encourage them to talk to experienced business owners and experts as part of their education. With an open mind, we believe it is possible to develop local transformative business ideas. We are here to help empower our kids on this journey so they can be the self-confident, problem-solving leaders and social advocates that our future needs.

This alternative method offers kids a big-picture view that enables them to initiate creative change where it is needed. Very often, innovation is needed close by: in the city we live, in our neighborhoods.

Our Goal

Our goal with this exposure is to encourage an ever-innovative process-oriented mindset that equates failure with opportunity. We want children to learn from the start the importance of iterating, problem-solving, and troubleshooting in order to improve upon the original as opposed to the searching for a perfect result (which very often ends simply ends in giving up).
