Nominate a young entrepreneur and give them the recognition they deserve. Every nomination creates an opportunity-and a story worth sharing.

How
It Works
Submit A Nominiation
Submitting a nomination is simple and free. Whether you are nominating yourself or someone else, the goal is to highlight real effort, creativity, and leadership.
Each nomination is reviewed through a verification process that looks at actual activity, not popularity or payment. If approved, the nominee may receive recognition and, with proper consent, be included in our official registry.
If the nominee is under 18, guardian consent will be required before any public visibility is granted.

How We Verify
We check to make sure what you’re building is real.
That could be:
- a website
- something you’re selling
- content you’re creating
- a service you offer
You don’t need to be big—you just need to be real.
Confirm Consent if Under 18
America’s Youngest CEOs includes participants under the age of 18.
For that reason, we require consent from a parent or legal guardian before any public recognition is issued. This requirement is not a barrier—it is a safeguard. It ensures that young participants are supported, protected, and represented appropriately throughout the process.
We take a privacy-first approach for all participants, especially minors.
Sensitive personal information is never collected or displayed
Public visibility only occurs with approval
Guardian preferences are followed at all times
