"Aged just 12 he must be the UK’s youngest CEO, yet Jenk Oz, founder of iCoolKid, has the confidence of a seasoned boardroom executive several times his age, expects his company to turnover £50,000 before his next birthday, and has plenty of startup advice for other budding young entrepreneurs.
From an early age Oz had always enjoyed a variety of outside interests, from acting and street dance, to coding, and he loved telling his school friends about it. When their interested really started to pique, he put out a weekly email, with the help of his mum, telling his friends and their parents about all the cool things that were happening over the weekend.
“I would let them know which ones I was going to check out,” he says. “That way they could join in if they wanted to.”
Then he came up with the idea of creating a digital platform with information about all the coolest and most interesting things for kids. He presented the idea during a school assembly, and it went down a storm. Oz was eight years old and with the help of his parents he turned his iCoolKid concept into a reality."
