“My mentors taught me that failure is necessary. They helped me realize I have everything it takes, not just to succeed as an entrepreneur, but to lead and grow a real business. ”
Teo Aluko grew up in Indianapolis and had been passionate about business since childhood, selling lemonade and golf balls to golfers behind his house and later reselling sneakers in middle school. His dad encouraged his ideas, but when high school started, there wasn’t a class or club to nurture his passion. He dreamed of building something of his own, but without a clear path, he didn’t know where to start.
