Noa Mintz is a 15 year old entrepreneur that is helping families feel safer and more secure about their babysitters and nannies.  At the age of 12 Noa’s family was having trouble finding a good babysitter in New York City that was trustworthy babysitters that were interactive with the children.  To solve this problem Noa created her company Nannies By Noa.

Nannies By Noa is a full service child care agency that pairs families in need of a nanny with trustworthy nannies in need of a job.  Nannies By Noa is very hands on throughout the process.  Nannies By Noa first consults with the family in need of a nanny, to see specifically what they want in a nanny.  The company then sends the family resumes of nannies that may potentially work for their situation.  Next, the family interviews with the potential nanny, with the team of Nannies By Noa walking you through the process every step of the way.  The company will help negotiate salaries, create work agreements and lay out expectations of the job.

Noa started this successful venture by using her network of reliable babysitters around her area to be matched with families in need, which is very impressive at such a young age.  She is not distracted by the normal teenage drama and stays focused on the problem she is solving at hand.  Nannies By Noa was created because of how difficult it is to find sitters that are trustworthy and good with children.  Noa identified the problem of finding a good sitter and solved it by using her network of good sitters and pairing them with families in need.  I am inspired by the fact that Noa blocked out all the the distractions of being a teenager and focused on a problem that she was passionate about.  In the end Noa is creating jobs for people and a safer babysitting experience.

Twelve year old Tripp Phillips was playing with his Legos one day.  He put a lot of time into creating a plane with his Legos.  When he would play with the the plane and fly it around, the plane would fall apart.  Tripp realized that he needed something that would hold the Legos together that did not permanently keep them stuck together.  Tripp came up with his company LeGlue.

Tripp Phillips is very unique.  He is twelve years old and has already started his own company.  Also, he is the one of the youngest people to get a patent in the United States and  has pitched his business idea on Shark Tank.  Tripp Phillips started thinking about the LeGlue idea in school as an assignment.  His teacher gave his class the task of inventing something.  So Tripp identified the problem of his Legos not staying together and solved it with LeGlue.  Tripp Phillip’s LeGlue is unique because there is nothing on the market quite like it.  Tripp found a gap in the market and put his product in to fill it.  Tripp Phillips is an inspiration because of how successful he is for being so young.  Also, I was inspired by the way Tripp presented himself and his business idea on national television.  He was calm, humorous, and got his idea across very well.  Tripp also was able to decide which investor’s offer he wanted to take.  Tripp’s story has taught me that no matter how old you are you can make an impact in this world and be successful.

Benjamin Shalom is a twenty-four year old entrepreneur who created a whole new way for boxers to get exposure.  Shalom is the creator of Ultimate Boxxer, a new fighting format that gives exposure and payment to boxers that are under the radar.  This is not the first venture that Shalom has been apart of.  He has experience through catering and entertainment sectors.  Shalom was a boxer and knows what it is like trying to get opportunities to show your abilities.  He is driven by his experiences.  Not only does Shalom’s idea give boxers exposure, it also pays them for their work.  The idea does not just benefit boxers, it benefits boxing fans because they will be able to watch boxing more frequently as opposed to watching it a handful of times a year.  Shalom identified the problems and gaps in the boxing industry and plugged in his own ideas to create a better format.

It is inspiring that Shalom took something that he was passionate about and made it better.  He was a boxxer that knew the struggle of gaining exposure so he created a way to gain exposure easier.  Shalom’s story has taught me that experience and passion will help you work harder and have success in your venture because you enjoy what you are doing.
