(KTVI) – Jaylen Bledsoe is a 15-year-old sophomore at Hazelwood West High School who started his own tech company that is now worth $3.5 million in just three years. Jaylen sat down with John Pertzborn to explain how he starting building a company when he was only 12. He plans to attend Harvard after he graduates from high school and will be a presenter for a local youth entrepreneurship nonprofit Independent Youth at their annual TrepStart Day in September, as well as being a national speaker for the organization.
Who needs college when you have a million dollar business! Just build your own university teaching what you know! Anyway, I'm so happy that positives stories like these are heard to showcase the excellence when youths particularly young Black youth channel their energy towards positive outlets. We need to hear about more Jaylen's of America!
