Kidpreneur

What Kidpreneur does

Kidpreneur is a privately held, founder-owned enrichment business founded in 2021 by Marie Barbezieux Rousselle and based in the New York metro area, with a stated Wixom, MI mailing locale and operational offices in New York City and Larchmont, NY. The company delivers a bilingual (French-English), project-based entrepreneurship education program targeted at children ages 9-15, covering public speaking and pitching, entrepreneurial mindset, financial literacy, and creative problem-solving. Its product surface consists of weekly after-school classes inside partner schools, week-long camps and bootcamps, drop-in community workshops, and an annual Young Entrepreneur Fair (YEF) — the June 20, 2026 Larchmont edition is the first event outside the original NYC base, with 16 kid-operated booths sold out and a waitlist.

The underlying operation is service-delivery heavy rather than technology-platform driven: there is no described software product, no proprietary platform architecture, and no disclosed technical infrastructure beyond a WordPress-style website, basic email forms, and a Luma integration for YEF RSVPs. Content differentiation rests on a bilingual FR-EN curriculum, sustainability-themed project work, and a real-outcome pitch showcase format. Competitive positioning cited by the company emphasizes being the only bilingual FR-EN entrepreneurship program for ages 9-15 in the NY metro area, in-school (rather than off-site) delivery, and founder expertise.

Kidpreneur operates two parallel go-to-market motions. Direct-to-consumer: family enrollment through website forms (48-hour response commitment) into after-school, camp, bootcamp, workshop, and YEF formats; pricing is inquiry-based and not publicly disclosed. B2B school channel: structured offerings — Semester Programs (turnkey delivery), Teacher Training (faculty PD), and Curriculum Licensing (bilingual content access) — pitched via a dedicated [email protected] inbox. YEF generates a secondary sponsorship revenue stream with three tiers ($500 Lead, $250 Community, $20+ in-kind). Customer reach is disclosed as 200+ students across 5+ private schools since 2021, with only two partner schools named publicly (Lycée Français de New York and The École). The company is bootstrapped with no institutional capital, and operations are concentrated in the founder; revenue, headcount, and contract values are not disclosed.

Emerging players

• DECA: International student organization preparing emerging leaders for careers in business, with entrepreneurship events and competitions for middle and high school students; adjacent to Kidpreneur in mission and age demographic.
• LaunchX: Summer program for high school students to launch real startups with mentorship; overlaps in the real-business-launch thesis but skews older (high school) and more venture-oriented than Kidpreneur's 9-15 enrichment focus.
• JuniorMBA: Online platform offering business and entrepreneurship courses for kids and teens, often through after-school or summer formats; comparable online/enrichment delivery mechanism for a similar age demographic.

Direct peers

• Lemonade Day: National youth entrepreneurship program teaching kids to start and run a real lemonade stand business; comparable real-launch, community-event-oriented format (akin to Kidpreneur's YEF) and youth age demographic.
• BizWorld Foundation: Provides project-based entrepreneurship curricula for elementary and middle school students including a student-run business simulation; comparable age range and hands-on, school-delivered model to Kidpreneur.
• Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA): Program that guides students ages 11-18 through launching real businesses with mentorship and a final investor-panel pitch — directly comparable to Kidpreneur's project-based, real-launch curriculum and pitch/jury showcase model.
• Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE): Nonprofit that teaches entrepreneurship to young people from under-resourced communities through in-school programs, after-school classes, and summer camps — closely aligned in target age group (middle/high school), delivery model, and curriculum focus.

Broad incumbents

• Junior Achievement (JA): National nonprofit delivering entrepreneurship, work-readiness, and financial literacy programs to K-12 students across the US; overlaps with Kidpreneur's curriculum pillars but at far larger scale and without the bilingual FR-EN niche.
