@Akon We have a teen entrepreneur visiting LA from Malawi. His project is changing the country's economy, facilitating agricultural trade among small farmers and produce retailers, by cutting out predatory middlemen. We'd love for you to meet him @samkqlungu
From @FoundersBootcmp, mentors @uclaanderson, friends, family and VCs heard the pitches of teenage founders from around the world with projects designed to disrupt industries and change the world. Companies included: Waterpoint, Trill, Loop, Hero and Argonet.

@anthonyha Our teenage entrepreneurs are outperforming most adults in Silicon Beach. Last week, one team received a $500k investment, another is changing the Malawi economy. The crazy part, they aren't even old enough to vote! @FoundersBootcmp@EmilyKosko
Our team, Agronet, is making a positive impact in the #Malawi economy. The project helps the country's #farmers sell their #produce directly to retail vendors at fair prices, by cutting out predatory middlemen. . #entrepreneurship#startupsinafrica
