From lemonade stand to Denver startup week Jack's journey is truly inspiring
Entrepreneur Name: Jack Bonneau, (Age: 14)
Business Name: Teen Hustl, Broomfield, Colorado, United States
At the age of 10, Jack Bonneau started a lemonade stand with his friends where he learnt his first lessons in entrepreneurship. Jack's stand got him on the national stage 'Shark Tank' where we get sharks to invest in our business by pitching our ideas. Even then Jack loves every opportunity he gets to present his business in front of experts as their feedback is valuable and it helps him grow as a leader.
Now at the age of 14, he is competing in the Denver Startup Week with his new business model 'Teen Hustl'. At Teen Hustl, they deliver basic household products using a scooter or bicycle. With not more than 6 employees, Jack run tries to deliver the products completely contactless. The employees deliver the products within a short range of their houses. People already know them and prefer to order from them rather than a random delivery person. Pandemic has only increased the popularity of this concept. He stocks up his Garage which he has converted into a makeshift Amazon locker with essential products from different stores.
Out of 18 participants in the Denver Startup Week, he is the only teen participant. He was chosen out of four young entrepreneurs to compete in this competition by Junior Achievement and Young Americans Bank.
By the end of September Jack wants to expand Team Hustl to Westminster and Louisville. He strongly believes that one should never give up any opportunity and try to grab as many as they can because one never know what experience each will bring.
