Personal reflections from KidPitch founder Jessie on entrepreneurship, parenting, and building a mission-driven business from the ground up.
Building a mission-driven business means making choices that do not always follow conventional wisdom.Building a mission-driven business means making choices that do not always follow conventional wisdom. Here is why I chose not to wait.
I started with a simple question: what would my kids do if the internet just wasn’t there? What began as a weekend experiment turned into something I didn’t expect. The fighting, the Lego sets, and the moment I realized my son had been watching other kids live their lives instead of living his own.
I had an MBA and still learned some of the hardest business lessons the hard way. That experience is exactly why I started KidPitch, and why I believe kids deserve better preparation than most of us got.
My kids want to be YouTubers and professional gamers. And I don’t think that’s a problem. What I do think is a problem is that nobody is teaching them what it actually takes to make that work.
