The idea takes the stage
WEB SUMMIT & WEBIT
Conferences
Kid Startupper is presented to Google, Microsoft, and DELL at two of the world's leading technology conferences.
We give children the mindset schools don't teach.
Kid Startupper is the first educational platform in the world designed to teach entrepreneurship to children aged 10 to 15 — using Aristotle's First Principles method, the same framework behind Tesla, Netflix, and SpaceX. Built from 20 years of hands-on experience in youth education, Kid Startupper is where children don't just learn about entrepreneurship. They live it. They build real profiles, real businesses, and real networks — guided every step of the way by Andrew, their AI mentor.

Over the past decade, I've focused on scientific research in children's entrepreneurship, collaborating with schools around the world to understand how young minds engage with business and creativity.

Our Story
Kid Startupper was born in 2011 from a simple but ambitious idea: what if children could learn to think and build like real entrepreneurs — before the world told them what they couldn't do? By 2014, the platform had earned international recognition, presenting to Google, Microsoft, and DELL at Web Summit and WEBIT. We've never stopped building since.

Recognised on the World Stage
In 2014, Kid Startupper made its global debut at WEBIT and Web Summit — two of the world's most influential technology conferences — presenting to Google, Microsoft, and DELL. Built over four years of rigorous design, research, and testing, the platform earned recognition at the "Education Leaders Awards" in 2018 and was featured at the 5th International Conference on Promoting Educational Innovation (ICPEI 2019). These milestones reflect our commitment to building something that truly changes how children think.
