What started out as a story of bullying in the classroom when he was 11 turned into a multi-million-dollar company for 19-year-old Kai Seymom and his Mum Jo, who designed and developed over 700 sensory 'fidget' products aimed to assist neurodivergent teens and adults and now sell over 250,000 products a year from their warehouse in Melbourne. Their company 'Kaiko Fidgets' now averages a growth of 50% year-on-year.

 Kai and Jo's purposeful products are now also being sold by retailers in the U.S and the U.K. and appear in some schools.

Their products, at their core, are for everyone; they meet so many needs - from pen click replacement to skin picking supports, there are sensory fidgets for that. 

Earlier this month, Kai came second in the Global Student Entrepreneur Awards, where he won AU$40,000 and was the only Australian to make the finals out of 1200 competitors.
