Allen Xu
Co-Founder
Allen is a junior @ Naperville North. Every summer growing up, he ran a lemonade stand with his little brother, Evan, on the side of the road to earn enough money to buy the new shoes and hot games he wanted. In 5th grade, he fell in love with Shark Tank, watching every episode as soon as it was released. In 7th grade, he had his first experience with entrepreneurship when he became an international finalist in the FIRST Global Innovation Awards. Now, involved in DECA, a business competition, he serves as both a VP of his DECA chapter and a state champion, and hopes to work with students like him & foster a community passionate about business.

Aarav Khullar
Co-Founder
Aarav is a rising junior @ Naperville North with a passion for business and fostering youth entrepreneurship. His first entrepreneurship experience was in 6th grade, during quarantine, when he accumulated over 300 subscribers on his YouTube channel “AK Cubing.” During this time, he grew comfortable with establishing a community, marketing his videos, and creating content. In 7th grade, he watched Shark Tank every night with his dad, fueling his excitement around entrepreneurship. As he became further involved in business, he devised smart ideas but lacked the resources necessary to pursue them -- which inspired him to found BizBuzz.
