We started Mighty for our kids
Ben started Mighty for his daughters, Vivian and Josie. It began as a weekend project to reinforce their math lessons, but it quickly became much more. Ben was floored by how proud his daughters were of their business, the confidence it gave them, and the outlet they now had for their creativity. He quickly started to get requests from other parents who wanted their kids to set up businesses, and the idea for Mighty was born.
We're experienced entrepreneurs
Mighty was founded by two serial entrepreneurs: Ben and Dana. Ben’s first business was starting a taxi service and Dana’s was selling inventions she patented in elementary school. Ben started a huge media company, GOOD/ Upworthy, and taught entrepreneurship at USC. Dana started a crowdfunding business (Ben was an investor!), testified for Congress, and helped draft a Bill that made it easier for small businesses to get investments. She also was an executive at Etsy, advisor to Google’s Sidewalk Labs, and mentor to entrepreneurs at Stanford and NYU.

We’re building Mighty for the next generation
Today, Mighty is a team of 10 people in NYC and growing with the support of investors like Collaborative Fund + Sesame Workshop and the founder of Riot Games. We incorporated as a Public Benefit Corporation because we want to keep our mission front and center – empowering kids through entrepreneurship. Thousands of kids have launched their business with Mighty so far and we’re just getting started.
