About Us
More than just ideas.
Most entrepreneurship preparation is about coming up with ideas, and not following through. Ash Reddy founded Business Kids when he saw that business education in schools needed to change. Ideas are a dime a dozen.
Business Kids’ process is grounded in the actual skill of creating a template from which to create, build, and run a successful business that’s focused on understanding your people and your numbers — customers, suppliers, profits, and losses.
Ash knows what it’s like to run a business himself, having founded Chess Mates in 2013. Since then, he’s taught over 55,000 kids across Australia the value of emotional intelligence, empathy, sportsmanship, and thinking ahead.
Ash’s experience in business, both for his own company and for organisations big and small, inspired him to change business education in schools. The future of work has changed – and schools aren’t teaching your kids what they need to know.
The Business Kids difference.
Business Kids delivers fun, effective, professional, and backed-by-results courses that mean your kids can walk away with the skills to start their own business tomorrow.
