Entreprenaissance: A movement of successful next generation entrepreneurs who use their creativity, business acumen and social conscience to drive a revival of positively focused business, and an extraordinary new era of individual expression and legacy.

The Club Kidpreneur Foundation is a social enterprise which aims to encourage entrepreneurial thinking in primary-aged children.

We are committed to inspiring, teaching and supporting kids to start and grow their own micro-enterprises, in order that one-day they may choose entrepreneurship as a career.

As a successful kidpreneur and then entrepreneur myself, I wish to encourage the next generation to lead the ‘Entreprenaissance’, simultaneously becoming more entrepreneurial and socially conscious. Imagine a world where:

•  Kids use their own creativity and initiative to start their own enterprises to do good in the community

•  Kids can experiment with business and experience both success and failure a younger age

•  Kids realise that it will be successful entrepreneurs who have the resources and influence to fix many of the world’s ills

•  Kids recognise that a career in entrepreneurship is possible

•  Kids interested in business can gain exposure to a community of like-minded friends and mentors

•  Kids feel in control of their future by focusing on clearly attainable steps to freedom

The Club Kidpreneur educational programs aim to train the first generation of Australian business and financially literate children.

We work in schools, in the community and online to deliver a program that is innovative and inclusive of all kids regardless of background. Our toolbox of activities has the potential to reach over 2 million primary school kids, their siblings, parents, relatives and teachers.

We also engage a large and dynamic network of entrepreneurs to deliver the program.

Creel’s vision is to encourage the next generation to become more entrepreneurial and socially conscious. Creel spends his time speaking about and training entrepreneurship through a number of initiatives including his business Accelerate Global and Decisionship that now forms the core curriculum for the Branson Centre of Entrepreneurship in South Africa and Jamaica.
