Jack Kim is a Seattle teenager that founded Benelab, a search engine that generates donations. Kim had made some search engines in the past and quickly learned the power of a search engine in generating revenue from little traffic. He says the search engine’s mission is “to make philanthropy easy and more accessible.” After establishing the “no adults” rule, Kim began recruiting classmates to be part of his “nonprofit organization with a startup vibe” team. Kim is unsure about what will happen to Benelab when he graduates, but his goal is to get the company to $100,000 before high school ends.
Philanthropy is so important, and I think often thought of as something only older, rich people can be involved in. So cool that Kim invented this platform– I hope he meets his goal.
