Jaylen D. Bledsoe stood infront of crowds to give a talk at the family friendly festival MegaFest (founded by the T.D. Jakes Ministries) and spoke on the topic of technology and innovation.

This 17-year-old isn’t someone to cast off, he should be listened to! While his peers navigate their early life, find themselves and work out where they want to head Jaylen has nailed a $3.5 million global enterprise that was underway at just 12!

Driven doesn’t even begin to describe this young man!

He is an entrepreneur, investor, motivational speaker and business development consultant, all this at such a young age!

The Atlanta Blackstar reported a bit about his rise, they wrote:

At the age of 12, Bledsoe started his own information technology consulting business called, Bledsoe Technologies, LLC. With only $100, he began marketing his tech services and within two years, he had 150 contractors working for him and a company valued at $3.5 million.
Bledsoe’s expertise and success is multifaceted and includes start-up businesses, brand and business development, venture capital funding, direct marketing platform development and implementation, entrepreneurship and increasing revenue streams. His clientele include celebrities Jordin Sparks and Steve Harvey.

Thinking about his company’s future, Bledsoe recently re-branded his company from Bledsoe Technologies, LLC to The Jaylen Bledsoe Global Group. Bledsoe had a mentor from the beginning, chain grocery store CEO, Scott Schnuck, who gave him invaluable advice: ‘Take risks, there’s nothing that you can do as a minor that will shoot you down for too long. Because you are young, you can come back up and keep going.”
