What is BKFK?
At BKFK, we know that while teens have great ideas, they often have no place to take them. The BKFK Company recognizes the ingenuity and creativity that young people possess, and is entirely dedicated to inspiring the innovative spirit within every young innovator. We provide the support needed for teens to create great ideas and inventions.

BKFK runs 4 quarterly competitions, where they can enter their ideas for a shot at winning $10,000 and meeting famous innovators. BKFK also transforms outstanding ideas into commercial products where the young people earn self esteem, business experience and royalties. BKFK represents some of the most brilliant young minds in America.
