Twelve-year-old Starts His Own Business
Bootstrap District Topic, 5d ago
Twelve-year-old Aaron Osirus saw kids carrying fidget toys at school and asked himself one simple question: "Why can't I make those?" He borrowed $600 from his parents, bought a 3D printer, and turned that question into a business. Before long, his twin brother Alain joined him, helping with design, marketing, and keeping the business running.
Today, they're making money, learning how to serve their customers, and building something together. Like most entrepreneurs, they didn't have all the answers when they started, but they had an idea and the willingness to get to work.
If you have a business idea rattling around in your head, stop waiting for the "right time." Let these kids be your inspiration to go for it!

No imposter syndrome for boss Aaron. The "I have an idea, and I think I can make it happen" gene is a true gift. Plus, the business provides a unique bonding experience for the brothers.

They set the example for entrepreneurs of all ages--idea, plan, work hard.
