Help Julian Empower Young Entrepreneurs

Hello!

My name is Julian Businessman and I'm 10 years old. Since I was 4, I have been helping out at shops in my neighborhood and running my own businesses, such as a lemonade stand, a hot chocolate stand, and designing and selling my own Julian Businessman merch line.

I believe that no business is a true business if they don't donate some part in trying to help the world. That's why I have raised more than $37,000 for good causes, including $20,634.98 for Best Friends Animal Society.

I feel this rush of exhilaration in my veins that courses through me, leaving happiness and excitement in its wake when I do business. I want other kids to feel that same exhilaration and help them get the skills to be successful.

That's why I am organizing my very first Kids Business Fair, where kids can set up their own stands, sell their own products, make their own profits, and give 30% of their net profits to a charity of their choice.

It will be on June 15th (Father's Day) from 10am-5pm at the Grand Bazaar NYC , which is a well-known market in my neighborhood on the Upper West Side of Manhattan that is also a non-profit that supports local public schools. I have rented a couple of tents in a prime location with lots of foot traffic. In one day, if the weather is nice, you can get up to 22,000 visitors to the fair.

I found 10 Kid Vendors who will sell their own self-made products and donate part of their net profits to a charity they care about.

I have been training the Kid Vendors on Zoom in all the things I have learned from my lifelong experience running lemonade and hot chocolate stands. I teach them things like planning their inventory, how to pick their price point, customer service, and marketing, so that they have a successful experience.

I am paying for everything besides the Kid Vendors' personal expenses (so, the space rental, the tents, table, and chair rentals, the marketing costs, printing costs, etc.), so now I am looking for support to help me cover those costs.

If you like the idea of giving kids opportunities to learn about entrepreneurship, please donate here.

I will send updates on how it's going and what I'm spending your money on. This is the biggest project I have ever done and a really big risk for me. I am scared but I'm going for it.

Thank you and sincerely,

Julian
