Throughout high school, Madeline Falknor searched for a backpack that was functional and classy but she couldn’t find something that met both requirements. So… she made one. During the summer of Madeline’s senior year with the help of her mom, she launched her line of polished and practical backpacks, Madeline & Company. Madeline now features nine different backpack styles that can be bought on her website, http://madelineandcompany.com/. This young entrepreneur has had the examples of her mother and grandfather before her to inspire and mentor her and also to provide advice and assistance. She also saw a need as well as a niche market that could be used to her opportunity. Madeline has become a successful millennial entrepreneur and runs her company while completing her senior year of high school. She proudly sells a Made in America product and hopes that she will make a difference with her it.
Madeline had a great idea with this product! I can resonate with the problem, and I’m sure so many other people can too. She found a good niche and created a business that she is passionate about, which helps her be successful.
