At just 16 years old, Eli Henriksen is proving that age is no barrier to entrepreneurship. A junior at Arlington Heights High School in Fort Worth, Texas, Eli is the founder of not one, but two thriving small businesses—Ridglea Dog Walking Co. and Ridglea Landscaping Co. His unique combination of determination, people skills, and grit has already earned him a combined revenue of $13,000 in 2024, all while balancing the demands of high school life. We’re thrilled to recognize Eli as a recipient of the Formidable Fellowship Grant, and we’re excited to share his inspiring story.
