Consumer Products - N/A, N/A, N/A
I am a teen entrepreneur and founder of The Truman Factory. I was inspired to start my company when I was 11 yrs old after watching kids on Shark Tank pitching to the Sharks. I didn't realize that kids could own their own business!At the time, my favorite movie was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and my favorite candy has always be chocolate. So I decided to make a delicious chocolate bar with a golden ticket to win epic prizes! Thats when the idea of Truman Bar was born, and, of course, that bar needed to be made in The Truman Factory, a factory that's by kids for kids. We developed branding, I visited candy manufactures and we found the best chocolate. Now I just needed to do the prizes!As a techie, and kind of a geek, I wanted to give my customers something totally new and unique, an epic prize experience using software - combining candy and technology. So we created the "Epic Prize Vault", a code based rewards program. As my business started coming together, people took notice and I appeared on news outlets, magazine articles, newspapers. Before I knew it I was doing unique collabs with Canopy Hotel, Wework, and other amazing businesses who supported my vision of The Truman Factory. Always believing in "Young Helping Young" I continue to give a percentage of all my sales to kids and teens who are less advantaged through two entities: Friends of the Children in Brooklyn and Vogel Alcove in Dallas.This is my 5th year of entrepreneurship and I am even more excited! I've totally rebranded, created new tasty products, upped the golden ticket experience and improved the prizes that can be won. I hope I can be an inspiration to other young people to start their own companies! Make your future sweet.
