Good morning,
Mark Cuban, Richard Branson, and Elon Musk have something in common: They each started businesses before even becoming teenagers.

Cuban sold garbage bags to his neighbors, while Musk built and sold a space-themed video game called Blastar. Both were 12 years old. Maybe that early success is contagious: Kids are more interested in starting summer businesses these days than in years past, says Alok Jain, co-founder and CEO of San Francisco-based education startup Moonshot Junior.

So, as summer approaches, we’ve compiled a three-part guide to kid entrepreneurship in the modern era. Check out our coverage (and go enjoy the sunshine): |
