9 Companies Founded by Amazing Young Entrepreneurs

It's always impressive to hear about entrepreneurs who created popular products and businesses in
their early 20s. But the entrepreneurial spirit sometimes strikes even younger than that. Some of the
entrepreneurs on this list haven't learned how to drive or even been to high school yet, but they're
running their own companies and on an early path to success.
Mr. Cory's Cookies - Cory Nieves
Cory Nieves, now 12, became the owner of Mr. Cory's Cookies at the ripe old age of six. According
to his website, Nieves told his mom that he was tired of taking the bus to school and that he wanted
to buy a car. It started out as selling hot cocoa in his hometown of Englewood, New Jersey, and
spiraled into selling lemonade and cookies to save money for college. Mr. Cory's Cookies, which
come in a variety of different flavors, have no preservatives and are sold through his website. He
has also worked with major brands such as Barney's, J. Crew and Pottery Barn.

competition Food Network Star Kids, which landed her a Food Network web series. But even before
her big win, Kelley had made her mark in the world of young celebrity chefs: Since 2012, she's been
the star of her own healthy cooking YouTube channel, Cook With Amber, and currently has more
than 37,700 subscribers. According to her website, Kelley was featured as a "Kid
Coach" at Mashable’s 2016 Kid Talks, an "Inspirational Kid" on the Today Show, and a "Culinary
Wizard" on the 2015 Academy Awards' Live From the Red Carpet on E!. Her work has even
been recognized by First Lady Michelle Obama at a White House dinner.

masks, skin lotion, hair treatments, shampoos, conditioners and more. Leanna is now the CEO

weeks it received more than 1 million downloads, surpassing "Angry Birds" as the most downloaded
free game from Apple. Robert Nay, a 14-year-old with no previous coding experience, built this
game. According to CNN, Nay learned everything he needed to know through research at the public
library, and produced 4,000 lines of code for his physics-based puzzle game in just one month. Nay
Games now offers games to help students learn sight words and spelling, Bubble Ball Pro, and

bow ties on Etsy and his products were soon picked up by boutiques in several states. On top of his
business success, Bridges was invited to the inaugural White House Demo Day, where he was able
to personally meet President Obama and gift him with a special "Obama blue" Mo's Bow. Bridges,
who was mentored by Shark Tank's Daymond John, is now 14 years old and serves as the CEO

traveling to India and bringing food and gifts to orphans in their hometown. In 2005, at the age of 9,
she decided she wanted to do more to make a real difference in these children's lives. She began
selling handmade win charms door-to-door and at community events to raise money for

Peace Prize.
