The inaugural G20 Young Entrepreneur summit will kick off in Canada in June, with Australia set to be represented by Jeremy Liddle, who founded his business, RioLife, as a 24-year-old.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The summit is set to shine a light on some of the world\u2019s leading young entrepreneurs, who have proved that age is no barrier to going it alone.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Indeed, with the likes of 27-year-old Mark Zuckerberg reaching the heights of entrepreneurship, it\u2019s clear that innovators aren\u2019t being held back, even as pre-teens.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here are 10 of the leading business builders from around the world who hope to follow in Zuckerberg\u2019s steps.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A look at 20-year-old Hsu\u2019s achievements thus far is enough to make Sir Richard Branson glance nervously over his shoulder.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n At two-years-old he was constructing Lego buildings taller than himself and reading books. He took up golf at three and was a graduate of the University of Washington by 16.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n But what of his business prowess? Well, Hsu has managed to snare $1.5 million in seed funding for Airy Labs, a business that creates social learning games for children.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Like any true entrepreneur, he\u2019s also endured bumps in the road \u2013 Hsu has had to fire staff and remodel his business to ensure its future growth.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n At the grand old age of 14, Britt became one of the world\u2019s youngest publishing magnates with the launch of fashion title GirlPez<\/i>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n By this time, Britt was already an old hand, having her poetry published aged just eight and receiving a wage as a reviewer of children\u2019s books for The Kitchen Table News<\/i>, a US newspaper that went under, leaving her unemployed at 11.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This early setback didn\u2019t deter Britt, who told the JuniorBiz.com site in 2010: \u201cI like a challenge. I think what drove me to start my magazine was the fact that I was so young and I was doing something that nobody around me was doing.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Indian whizz-kid Acidwalla made his name founding and selling Rockstah Media, a web development and media company.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n After borrowing $10 from his parents to purchase a domain name, he came up with a slogan \u2013 “creating awesomeness” \u2013 built the business and then sold it, at a handsome profit.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For a 13-year-old, Laurence Rook was perhaps a little overly concerned about his family\u2019s safety, but it led to an inspired business idea.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n1.
