7. Mikaila Ulmer
Although a teenager today, Mikaila Ulmer has been running her business, Me & The Bees Lemonade, since she was four.
Her big break came at the age of 9 when she (and her parents who assist her in running the business) won the contract to supply Whole Foods Market.
Her lemonade can now be found in over 500 stores across the US and sells more than 360 000 bottles a year.
“Mikaila and her company caught our attention on a number of fronts,” says Whole Foods Market’s Jenna Gelgand.”She had a unique product that tasted great, along with a strong, passionate founder and social mission.
