We’ve seen vending machines for drinks, snacks,
chocolates and cookies, but this 14 year old boy thought of a vending machine
that dispenses cheap first aid kits to allow kids and parents get quick access
to first aid kits.
He is Taylor Rosenthal, the CEO of RecMed, a company that makes first aid vending machines for use at amusement parks or sport centres. He introduced his automatic robotic machines late last year, He has since then been granting interviews and recently talked with CNN Money in the video below on how he came up with the idea, his challenges and next project.

He said he came up with the idea after attending
a young entrepreneurship class in school and was inspired when no one could
find a band aid when they got injured during baseball games which he has been
playing for nine years. He revealed that he rejected a $30 Million Buy-out
offer for his innovative First Aid Vending Machine. He has already raised
$100,000 investment and has several orders for his vending machines.
His teacher (in the picture above with him) said the student is still humble despite his success and that “Bill Gates” should be worried. Lol.
