Featured Entrepreneur - Kyrei Hartsfield
Kyrei Hartsfield joined Lemonade Day to save money for summer camp and give back to the organization that saved her life, The Stroke Clinic at Colorado Children’s Hospital. As a baby, Kyrei had brain surgery and the clinic was a great support for her family during the surgery, therapy, and recovery. Her life-changing experience inspired the name of her lemonade stand, Stroke Survivor Lemonade & Co.
In 2023, Kyrei entered a pitch competition through Lemonade Day National. Youth entrepreneurs were invited to share their Lemonade Day experiences by creating a video that captures their journey, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit for a chance to win personal feedback from the legendary Daymond John from Shark Tank. Kyrei’s story won 2nd place in the contest, earning her a special custom video message from Daymond John. Compared to last year, Kyrei’s growth has been remarkable.
During the 2024 Lemonade Day season, Kyrei competed in multiple contests, winning second place in the first Best of the Zest pitch contest. She had a profit goal of $1,000 and exceeded that goal by making $2,375. Kyrei saved $2,000 of her earnings and donated $300 to the Colorado Children’s Hospital Stroke Center. Next year, Kyrei plans to sponsor a lemonade stand for a first-year entrepreneur and mentor them to achieve success.
On Friday, September 13th, Kyrei was named 1st Runner-Up in the Lemonade Day National Youth Entrepreneur of the Year competition!
