Keno Lucas II, like thousands of 3 year olds, loved to draw, color and paint. His mother, Adrienne Lance Lucas like thousands of encouraging mothers framed Keno’s artwork throughout their home. The story of Keno’s art takes a twist because the young artist also has the spirit of an entrepreneur. By the time he hit the ripe old of age of 5, Keno was selling his art on his very own website www.coolkeno.com.

Today 12 year-old Keno like other boys his age enjoys playing basketball, soccer and video games. However, his early entry into business taught him that all play with no work does not make a successful businessman. Motivated by a desire to help his friends understand how he successfully grew his business, Keno joined forces with his mom also an entrepreneur. Together the mother son team co-founded KENO Micro-Fund.

“Owning my own business has taught me to be smart about managing and growing my money. I don’t think you are ever too young for those lessons.”
