À propos de nous
Hello! I'm Ada Knechtel the mastermind behind AK Creates. I am a 10th grader at Shawnee Mission West and I am always finding a way to be creative. When I was just 11, during the pandemic, I was on a mission to start a business. I thought it would be so fun selling my art (and as a bonus I would be able to spread some positivity and happiness in the world during that tough time).
Problème
At an early age I noticed that there is a lot of negativity in our everyday lives. When I founded AK Creates, it was during quarantine, when people needed easy ways to uplift each other and stay in touch.
Solution
Bright and colorful stationery that promotes positivity! This includes greeting cards that can be sent to loved ones to cheer them up, cute stickers with motivational messages, notepads encouraging productivity, and notebooks custom designed to match your style!
Marché cible
Millennials and Gen X females that are employed in the United States, but open to anyone who likes cute paper goods that brighten their day.
Impact sociétal
Prochaines étapes
I am looking for new opportunities to network and expand my business. As well as find ways to sell a greater range of products to a variety of people, to make more sales.
Nos écoles et districts
I think I did a good job making a professional image for myself and exerted confidence while presenting to show that I am prepared.

This was a fantastic pitch! You showed how informed you are about the market space you are entering by understanding and adding in the gamification that comes with your mascot.

Your video is grate and shows how much work you have put in to a Cotten candy business! I did get lost when reading the written submission as it covers skin care products and not cotton candy. This discrepancy made the pitch unclear but a simple update and clarification would get you back on track in no time.
