6 Businesses That Exhibit Child Brainstorming

I love brainstorming with kids. They have 0 inhibitions and no fear!! Having an idea and flying with it on a paper pad is a fantastic way to start a business.

Here are some examples where brainstorming with your kid can lead you:

Beija-Flor Jeans:

Kathy Moca and Emilie Whitaker ( mother/ daughter) love their denim. They wanted figure enhancing Brazilian design,  which inspired the creation of Beija-Flor Jeans. They found their creativity soared, as they brainstormed and intermingled the needs, and likes, of the two different generations. 

Creighton’s Chocolaterie:

Andrea Hunntington and her daughter Lucy Elliottt are the owners of Creighton’s Chocolaterie. This company is a unique business that sells design-led chocolates that serve as artisanal treats. Andrea brought ideas of her own to the table. It appealed to mature mom types. Lucy brought the whims and wants of the younger generation. 

NuFACE:

NuFACE is a company that was founded by Carol Cole and her daughters, Kimberly and Tera. The family brainstormed and developed this anti-aging skin care device in 2005 which broadened into a successful at-home started company. The family uses individual skills and strengths to balance each other out and keep the company functioning at its best.

Chrissy Weems and her daughter of 14, Bella, founded the company Origami Owl. This company is one that basically operates as a custom jewelry company that originally started as a mall kiosk and has broadened into a larger business.
