I'm a teen entrepreneur - should I put these particular venture[s] on my application?

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application

I’ve been involved in quite a number of unsuccessful ventures. NOTE ALL OF THESE ARE REMOTE JOBS/VENTURES

  1. Year 10: Co-founded a gaming startup. Left mid-year to work on my social media app. (They have now ceased working on this startup) However, I did ALOT of work.
  2. Social media app (www.comblie.com): Worked on for one year. Had a remote team. Had to cease working due to API restrictions.
  3. Briefly COO at a teen tech company (remote)
  4. Recently I started a digital agency. We have around 5 remote employees (these are freelancers) however we aren’t getting many jobs.

I"m also working on other projects which I will be listing. But these failed ventures, should I still put them down because they show that I am entrepreneurial and I am resilient in that I keep creating more startups despite failing?

I’m from Australia BTW and Stanford is my ultimate goal school. Stanford loves entrepreneurship and I think being an Australian entrepreneur will make me competitive? No?

Definitely list them! Maybe even write an essay about it. Don’t count on one ec (unless you have exceptional int’l/nat’l awards) to get you in an elite college though

I personally wouldn’t list them if they were not successful. Sure it shows experience but on the other hand it shows failure as well.

I’m going to list them @stormyc. Failure is nothing to be ashamed of. This shows that at least I’ve started. Most other kids haven’t even tried. And also, I persisted. I continued with other ventures.

Thanks for your input anyways.
