Youth and ambition are a potent combination.
Combine that with enthusiasm, intelligence, courage and a steady moral compass, and you find yourself encountering the next-generation of entrepreneurs determined to leave their mark.
This week we're highlighting eight people, all under 25, all entrepreneurs, most of them connected in some way to Washington University, St. Louis' magnet for the talented and driven, who have created a business that will likely be neither their last nor only venture of their lifetimes.
This Inno Under 25 class features an entrepreneur who's created an unlikely pair of businesses, one that helps high schoolers get college advisement. and one that sells Asian groceries. One member of the class created digital education tools for the deaf, while a team of twin sisters created a probiotic skincare line. Another young entrepreneur hopes to save lives with a tool he devised to combat brain aneurysms, while another created a pocket tool that has already saved a life.
This marks the fourth year that St. Louis Inno has unveiled a class of Inno Under 25 honorees, with each class just as impressive as the last.
It's a cliche to say the future is bright. It also undersells the point. Because the future isn't just bright — it's also ambitious, enthusiastic, courageous and really, really intelligent.
