Jayden Kahn - Founder Technology 4 All™

Jayden was raised by a close-knit family that emphasized education and bridging the educational gap. His father, born and raised in South Africa, witnessed how people who had access to technology were able to move up the social ladder while those less fortunate largely remained impoverished. Jayden’s grandparents, who have always been an inspiration, worked as teachers in a low-income area of New York. He grew up hearing stories about children not having the tools, resources, or guidance at home often resulting in crime, drug addiction, or sheer poverty. He remembers at a young age, his parents taking him to the school where his grandmother worked. He found that the children at that school were very similar to those he interacted with each day at his school. But what stood out was the vast difference in how technology was an integral part of his daily school life while it was almost non-existent for the children where his grandmother taught. He came home wondering how these kids would be able to get ahead in life in the same manner that he and his peers were expected to. At a young age, the idea for Technology 4 All was born.

Jayden has had a passion for business and investing since a young age. He parlayed his interest in the stock market into building a website, thestockzone.net that is focused on what is happening each week in the stock market. In 2023, he placed second in a national high school stock marketing investment competition run by the University of D. He also participated in the Young Entrepreneurs Academy Program where he built a business plan leveraging his strong math skills by launching a math tutoring business. After presenting his plan to the investment committee, he was awarded funds to launch it. While developing that business model further, he morphed it into his Technology 4 All idea that had been brewing since an early age and set it up to be a nonprofit organization.

Besides investing and helping people, Jayden is a keen sports addict. You can ask him any statistic about any professional sports team and he will know it. He enjoys playing basketball, tennis, and ice hockey. In his spare time, he also participates in fantasy football winning 3 of the past 5 years and coming in second place this past season.

Jayden is excited to help kids in the US and South Africa and sees this as the beginning of his goal of making the world a better place.
