The founding class
The very first kids on Lemonade Stand aren't just opening stores — they're founding a marketplace. And founders get founder perks.
The first 100 stores earn Founding Kid recognition on the marketplace — forever. When Lemonade Stand is big, your kid was here first.
Real businesses start with startup capital. The first 50 stores are eligible to apply for a $20 grant to buy their first supplies — beads, baking ingredients, sticker paper, whatever their business needs.
Why a grant? Lemonade Stand itself was started with a small business grant. It made a founder out of a maker — and we want the same for the first kids here. Writing down what you'd do with $20 is a kid's first business plan.
How it works
Takes about three minutes. You're the account holder and you approve everything — your kid runs the store inside your supervision.
Your kid names it, designs it, and adds their first product. You approve it, and the store goes live with its own shareable link. Store number 1 through 100 = Founding Kid.
Parents: email hello@getlemonadestand.com with your kid's store link and what they plan to sell — that's the whole application. We'll reply with the details.
Grant details: available to the first 50 stores by store creation date, one grant per family, awarded at Lemonade Stand's discretion. Founding Kid status applies to the first 100 stores by creation date.
There will only ever be 100 Founding Kids. Grab your kid's spot.
