As the CEO of AwakeVC, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing and nurturing the birth of many startups. But today, I stand before you with a different kind of excitement, a personal one that fills me with immense pride. My 10-year-old son, Arjun Rathore, has decided to embark on his entrepreneurial journey, and his first venture is none other than an Awake Venture – PineappleCo.
Arjun, together with one of his classmates, has taken his first steps into the business world. PineappleCo is not just any company; it’s a vibrant startup aimed at selling beads, plushies, and art, a marketplace where creativity meets commerce. This venture is a testament to the spirit of innovation and the courage to dream big, regardless of age.
The inception of PineappleCo came from a simple yet profound desire to create and share. Arjun’s passion for beads, plushies, and art, combined with his vision to build a platform for these creations, has led to the formation of a company that is as unique as its name. PineappleCo represents the sweet fruit of labor and the tough exterior needed to protect and nurture one’s dreams.
It’s a remarkable coincidence that Adi, Arjun’s older brother, was also 10 when he started Toontype, a platform that aims to be a cornerstone in the world of cartoon and fiction marketplaces. The synergy between Toontype and PineappleCo is palpable, as both ventures share a common thread of creativity and youthful innovation. It will be fascinating to watch how these two ventures intersect and interconnect, creating a dynamic ecosystem of artistic expression and entrepreneurship.
As a parent and a CEO, I am thrilled to support Arjun’s aspirations. It’s not every day that a 10-year-old decides to become an entrepreneur. This decision speaks volumes about his character and the values we’ve instilled in him – to chase his dreams, to innovate, and to make a difference.
PineappleCo is more than just a business; it’s a learning platform for Arjun, his cofounders, and his friends. They will learn the ropes of entrepreneurship, from ideation to execution, from marketing to customer service. These are invaluable lessons that will shape them into the leaders of tomorrow.
We at AwakeVC believe in empowering the youth, in giving them the tools to create their future. PineappleCo is a shining example of this belief in action. It’s a venture that intertwines the innocence of childhood with the seriousness of business, proving that age is just a number when it comes to innovation.
As we share our journey with the world, we invite you to join us in cheering for PineappleCo. Follow us as we navigate the challenges and celebrate the milestones. This is just the beginning for Arjun, and PineappleCo is set to be a beacon of youthful creativity and entrepreneurial spirit.
Stay tuned for more updates, and let’s witness together the growth of PineappleCo, where every bead, plushie, and piece of art tells a story of youthful ambition and boundless potential.
