ExperienceMaurits Neo's entrepreneurial journey started at just 12 years old, when he began selling candy across multiple schools in South Africa. What started as a small hustle quickly scaled into a mini operation with friends acting as sales reps — until the school eventually banned it. Rather than stopping, he pivoted, moving into dropshipping fitness equipment online and learning the fundamentals of e-commerce in his early teens. From there, he built a content and social media agency, reinvesting his profits into crypto and forex trading, where he developed a portfolio reported at approximately $770,000 by mid-2024. In 2023, he launched Young Wealth — a free global community for young entrepreneurs — which has grown across platforms including Skool and Whop.
