Turn a box of books into a kid's first business

The Future Founder Project pairs sponsors with kids ages 7 to 14, giving each one a box of 24 “I Want To Be In Sales When I Grow Up” books and $100 to launch their own business.

The books are the tool.

The goal is to create young entrepreneurs.

Every Kid Picks Their Path

  1. The Lemonade Stand - Run the classic first business with the book right on the table.

  2. Be Like Charlie - Go door to door like the kid in the story.

  3. The Community Leader - Lead events, find partners, and launch the next founder.

It started with a box of cookies

When Charlotte was six, she and her dad sold cookies door to door, then wrote a book about what she learned. Now she's fifteen, and she's turning that book into something bigger - a way to hand other kids their own first business. That's the Future Founder Project.
