Start a Real Business With Your Kids.

Kidpreneur is designed for any age, but every child is different. Families can decide how much responsibility makes sense for their Kidpreneur and whether they are willing to participate in making, selling, and learning alongside a parent or guardian.

No. Poppin' & Mixin' Kidpreneur is designed to guide families, including parents who have never run a business before.

For our Founding Family Beta, the starter kit is free. Selected families will receive the starter kit at no cost in exchange for actively participating in the beta and providing structured feedback. An application approval and pre-shipment onboarding checklist are required before the kit is sent.

No. Poppin' & Mixin' Kidpreneur is designed around starting small. The starter kit includes what you need to begin making popcorn in your home kitchen. Equipment upgrades become available as you progress through your Kidpreneur journey.

Food-selling requirements vary by state and locality, and many states have cottage food laws that allow certain foods to be made and sold from a home kitchen. We’ll provide guidance during the Beta to help families understand the requirements that apply to them and what they need to do to operate legally and responsibly.

Requirements vary by state and locality. Depending on where you live and how you choose to operate, you may need to register your business, obtain a local license, or operate under an assumed business name, often called a DBA, or “Doing Business As.” Poppin' & Mixin' Kidpreneur provides guidance to help families understand the steps involved. As your business grows, optional upgrades will also be available to help make it easier to take the next step toward a more formal business structure, such as an LLC or corporation.

Poppin' & Mixin' Kidpreneur uses a co-branding model. Your family creates its own business identity, but it stays connected to the Poppin' & Mixin' Kidpreneur brand and system.

For example:
The Johnson Family Popcorn Co.
A Poppin' & Mixin' Kidpreneur Business

That way, it feels like your family's own business while still benefiting from the Poppin' & Mixin' name, products, guidance, and system.

Results vary. Kidpreneur teaches the fundamentals of costs, pricing, sales, and profit, but does not promise a specific amount of revenue or income. Popcorn can offer strong profit margins, so how much a family earns will depend on what they sell, how often they sell, and how far they choose to take the business.

Poppin' & Mixin' Kidpreneur is designed so families can start small and move at their own pace. The goal is a positive family experience, not forcing a child to build a giant business. We’re designing the journey to be fun, engaging, and rewarding, but if their interests change along the way, our hope is that they still walk away having learned something, built confidence, and shared a great experience with their family. It never hurts to try.

Yes. Fundraising can be a great addition to the Poppin' & Mixin' Kidpreneur experience and another way to grow sales, subject to the rules of the organizations and locations involved.

We haven’t finalized the long-term pricing model yet. One of the goals of the Founding Family Beta is to help us determine what model works best for families as they continue and grow. Founding Families will receive lifetime discounts, and any future pricing or ongoing costs will be clearly communicated before families decide whether they want to continue. Whatever model we develop, our goal is to keep Poppin' & Mixin' Kidpreneur accessible and affordable for families.

Families decide what comes next. If you choose to continue, additional kits will be available for purchase with the ingredients and supplies needed to keep operating. As your Kidpreneur progresses, additional recipes, equipment upgrades, and other opportunities will also become available. Everything is designed to make it as convenient as possible to keep building and growing at your family's own pace.

There’s no set schedule. Families can start small and work Poppin' & Mixin' Kidpreneur into their own routine. How much time you put into the business depends on how often you want to make, sell, and grow.

Poppin' & Mixin' Kidpreneur is designed to be a family experience. A parent or guardian should be involved in the business, especially with food preparation, money, selling, and any legal or licensing requirements. How responsibilities are shared can grow with the child’s age and experience.
