Young Entrepreneur Competition Winner Announcement!
The Future Moguls Young Entrepreneur Competition came to a close on December 31. We received hundreds of submissions from across ten countries! We got so many great submissions, so making the choice a very challenging one.
This year's winner is Fareed Olaosebikan, a 14 year-old entrepreneur from Nigeria, who came up with a system for cataloging livestock diseases in Nigeria. It's called VETHUB. The system also includes AI that can identify diseases through the catalog system. He has already started building this. Congratulations to Fareed, Future Moguls winner! Fareed will receive $2500 to build out his business, a full scholarship to the Lassonde Entrepreneur Academy Summer Program, and mentorship from global CEOs. On top of that, he will get this trophy engraved with his name sent to him. We will feature more on Fareed and his business soon!
