Our Sponsors
Thank you to the incredible partners who believe in the next generation of entrepreneurs, creators, and innovators. KidBizCON 2025 wouldn’t be possible without your investment in the future!
Why Sponsor KidBizCON?
KidBizCON isn’t just an event — it’s a movement to ignite the next generation of entrepreneurs, creators, and leaders. We primarily serve youth from Washington, D.C.’s East of the River neighborhoods — where opportunity gaps are greatest and potential is limitless. By sponsoring KidBizCON, you’re investing directly in:
Fueling dreams and closing opportunity gaps — one young entrepreneur at a time.
- Youth Economic Empowerment
Your support helps young people build businesses, financial literacy, and real-world skills that create pathways out of poverty.
- The Creative Economy of the Future
From fashion to tech to social innovation, KidBizCON equips diverse youth to become the leaders of tomorrow’s industries.
- Community Transformation
You’re not just reaching an audience — you’re uplifting an entire community. KidBizCON takes place in Ward 8, one of Washington D.C.’s most historically underserved areas, where 93% of residents identify as Black/African American and the median household income is less than half the citywide average. Your brand will be recognized for fueling opportunity where it’s needed most.
- A Legacy of Innovation and Opportunity
Sponsors of KidBizCON are remembered as partners who took action to bridge opportunity gaps, spark creativity, and transform dreams into reality.
