Entrepreneur Name: Leeloo Monleon, (Age: 11)

Business Name: Leeloodles, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

At seven years old, Leeloo started receiving requests from strangers who had spotted her work being worn along Toronto streets. Specifically, customers were eager to get their hands on shirts featuring the logos of the Toronto Raptors, Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Blue Jays. And so, her business — named Leeloodles — was born. Leeloo and her parents launched an Instagram page for the shirts, found a studio space to act as Leeloodles headquarters and found a nearby manufacturing unit.
