Kiana Mei

Youth Markets Melbourne

Creating a series of markets that are made up of sellers who are all under the age of 18. That will provide young people with an opportunity to put their business idea out there and sell in a supportive environment where they will also develop entrepreneurial skills at a young age and meet other likeminded teens.

As a young person and small business owner Kiana has spoken to others the same age and has identified a gap in the market where there is no market currently aimed specifically towards young people who are establishing or running their own business. Kiana also feels passionate about sharing her own experiences with the stallholders about starting out as a young business owner and sharing her own advice for starting your own successful small business and managing it whilst still studying at school.
