Your child gets a real business.
Not a worksheet about one.
Children aged 8 to 18 pick an idea, build it and make the decisions a real owner makes, then see what happens. You see every game from your own dashboard, and nothing goes public without your yes.
Free trial first. After that, plans from 2,500 ETB a month.

What your family gets.
A practice space where your child runs a business of their own, and a clear view of what they are learning.
A business of their own
Your child picks something real to sell, like tire sandals, phone accessories or kolo, and runs it for ten stages. Customers haggle, suppliers run late, and every choice moves the Birr balance.
A plan they can explain
Builder Mode takes them through the nine blocks of a business plan, one question at a time. Birrhanu pushes back on vague answers until the plan is specific.
Your own dashboard
Every game, every badge and the plan as it grows, on your phone or your computer.
A shop page, when you say yes
Once you approve it, the business gets a public page. Buyers pay your family directly by telebirr.
From sign-up to a shop page, in four steps.
Step 1
Create your parent account
Sign up with your email. Every plan starts with a free trial.
Step 2
Add your child
You give your consent, then set a username and a PIN for your child. Ethiopian law asks for a parent’s consent before a child’s profile is made, so nothing starts without you.
Step 3
They play, you follow
Your child plays Quest Mode, then Builder Mode, then Startup Mode when ready. Each game shows up on your dashboard.
Step 4
You approve the shop
When the plan is ready, you decide whether it gets a shop page. Orders come to you, and the money goes to your family.
The three modes your child moves through.
Quest Mode
Ten stages of a business your child chose. At each stage a customer, a supplier or a problem turns up, and every choice changes the Birr balance.
Instinct for money, customers and trade-offs.
Builder Mode
Nine blocks of a business model, from who the customers are to what it costs to run. Birrhanu asks one question at a time and pushes back on vague answers.
A complete business plan, and a shop page once you approve.
Startup Mode
For older students. They pick one idea, test it with practice customers played by the AI, and decide what to change from what they learn.
Practice at testing an idea, before money is spent on it.
See what they did, and what they learned.
Your dashboard shows the games, the badges and the plan as it grows. Click through it.

Nothing goes public until you say yes.
Every game, visible
The parent dashboard shows each game your child plays, the badges they earn and the business plan they build.
Your approval first
A business gets its own shop page only after you approve it. Buyers see your child’s first name, never a surname or school.
Money to your family
Buyers pay your family directly by telebirr with an order reference. We never hold your child’s money.
English or Amharic
Every scenario is written for your child’s own business, in the language they think in.
Try the approval. You are the parent here.
Selam’s business plan
9 of 9 blocks donePrivate until a parent says yes
Tested with real children in Ethiopian classrooms.
The first version ran as a free pilot with 4H Ethiopia, now Memhir Institute. Students played in school computer rooms, often four to a screen, with an instructor in the room.

- 90%
- completed it with an instructor in the room
- Over 70%
- did something real with their business, beyond the game
Students came to mathematics class asking me how to calculate profit margins after playing The Kidpreneur. They connected the simulation to real arithmetic.One student told me after the pilot: ‘I used to think only people from rich families could own businesses. Now I know it’s about making the right decisions.’What it costs.
You pay The Kidpreneur directly, in birr. Schools never collect fees, and every plan starts with a free trial.
Every paid plan includes
- Quest Mode and Builder Mode
- Startup Mode practice
- Games saved, so your child picks up where they stopped
- A shop page for the business, once you approve it
- English and Amharic
