About Fryify: Fries that have toppings and seasonings that make them like other foods, such as pizza, taco, and cheeseburgers for the more basic ones, and ones like spicy chicken, barbecue pulled pork, and meat-lover’s meal for the more unique ones. Many previously inexpensive food options now give less food for more money. Fryify will be better because of the proportions in relation to the price. It allows customers to get their money’s worth, while still giving a 20% or higher profit margin.

Why is entrepreneurship important to you?
Creativity has always been one of the most important things to me. I love the

About Ladlis: Ladlis, which means “girls who are loved”, started when I was seven on a trip to India and understood the need to help young girls there. Ladlis does this through the creation and sale of handcrafted bracelets made by an NGO in India that rescues girls from child marriages and then uses some of the profit to provide girls with education. These girls craft beautiful bracelets and Ladlis teaches them valuable skills and gives them a source of income. The proceeds from each bracelet sold fund one month of education for a girl in need. Also, using real stones over plastic beads increases sustainability, reduces environmental harm, and enhances the aesthetic value of our bracelets.

Why is entrepreneurship important to you?
Entrepreneurship is important to me because it allows people to show their creativity and
express their feelings. It also allows you to act on a cause that you find important and
build your idea off of that. The process of entrepreneurship is so exciting for me
because it lets me express my true feelings and share my emotions about
things that I am really passionate about.
Fun fact: The ocean is my favorite place to be

About Smart Garden: My product is a self-watering plant pot that distributes water to your plants while you're away. The pot is powered by solar panels and it connects to an app that gives you plant advice. The app also allows you to remotely water your plants. This product is a necessity because the main reason why people don't own plants is because they don't have time to water them, but with this pot, your plants will be watered with just a click of a button. The purpose of this is to make sure that all plants thrive. Plants help the environment and allow everyone to live and breathe happier.

Why is entrepreneurship important to you?
Entrepreneurship is important to me because when I’m older I want to own my own
business and be self-employed. My dad also owns his own business and I am very
passionate about helping him with it. What I love about this process is that
I get to have an independent business idea with the two things I am
passionate about: Business, and the Environment.
Fun fact: I understand fluent Haitian Creole.
