Top 10 Entrepreneurs 2020

MIKAILA ULMER

She is the CEO of Me & the Bees Lemonade which has sold over one million bottles in a decade, and all this was achieved while she was only 15 years old. Ulmer scored an investment of $60,000 from Daymond John after her Shark Tank appearance in 2015. Ulmer has established herself as a voice of guidance, regularly speaking at entrepreneurial summits. Ulmer founded the business when she was 4 years old and was stung by two bees. She then started learning about them and gradually became fascinated about how important insects are in the food cycle. Shortly thereafter, her family received a cookbook in which they discovered a recipe for flaxseed lemonade. She decided to make lemonade with honey, bought from the local beekeepers. She made it for a children’s business competition in Austin, Texas. It was a huge hit and that is when Me & the Bees Lemonade was born. Managing the business with her parents, she not only launched a new line of beeswax infused lip balms but also a non-profit organization to conduct research and education for the bees: The Healthy Hive Foundation.
