The young entrepreneurs determined a funding strategy, built and sold their product and even made LinkedIn pages.

It was all part of PeopleLinx‘s Junior Entrepreneurs Bootcamp held last month for 13 of the startups’ employees’ children. PeopleLinx, the Center City company that offers LinkedIn services for businesses, gave the children crash courses in entrepreneurship, which eventually led them to raise $626 for Alex’s Lemonade Stand (PeopleLinx matched the $313 the kids raised from selling lemonade).

PeopleLinx plans to make the bootcamp a bi-annual event for kids of startup parents around the city.
