What were you doing at thirteen years old? Probably nothing, maybe some sports.
But not Nicholas Pinto. The 13-year-old from Cranford, N.J., last year turned his own desire for a better scooter wheel into a booming international entity, according to the Cranford Patch.
Frustrated by how the wheels of his scooter were always breaking, Pinto one day decided to create his own design. After receiving a $2,000 loan from his parents, he sent his designs to a California manufacturer, who helped him start producing his LB Scoots (“Little Boy” Scoots).
Then people started buying the wheels, and in just his first year, the eighth grader has already made $100,000 in sales, according to nj.com.
Pinto eventually built his own website and showed off his new wheels at skate parks and via advertising at competitions, according to Fox News. It wasn’t long until scooter enthusiasts around the world were trying to get their hands on Pinto’s durable wheels. He even received orders from Australia, Pinto told Fox.

Few entrepreneurs can say they’ve grown their business into multi-million dollar enterprises in just a couple years. Far fewer can say they’ve done so all before even graduating high school.
Jaylen Bledsoe, 15, of Hazelwood, Mo., however, is just that rare breed of high school sophomore. He started his own tech company that specializes in web design and other IT services, Bledsoe Technologies, when he was just 13 years old and worked to expand it into a global enterprise now worth around $3.5 million, Fox 2 in St. Louis reports. The local news station followed up with Bledsoe on Monday after first interviewing the teen back in March 2012. Since that first interview, Bledsoe has grown his company from two workers to about 150 contracted employees in order to meet demand.
