A 14-year-old school boy has come up with a multi-million dollar idea –
to create vending machines that dispense first aid kits.
Taylor
Rosenthal, from Opelika, Alabama, then rejected a $30m offer
from a ‘large national healthcare company’ in favour of holding on to
his idea himself.
He has already raised $100,000 in
angel investments and intends to make money by selling the machines for
$5,500 each, Daily Mirror reports.
Six Flags theme park in the US has already put in an order for 100 vending machines. Taylor told CNN Money :
“We had to come up with a business idea.
“Every
time I’d travel for a baseball tournament in Alabama, I’d notice that
kids would get hurt and parents couldn’t find a band aid. I wanted to
solve that.”
Customers are offered a variety of products in the
vending machine from prepackaged first aid kids ranging from ยฃ4 to ยฃ11
in price.
