​​

Jacob Kite is an 18-year-old entrepreneur and actor building brands and systems designed to prepare the next generation to lead. As founder & CEO of a growing portfolio that includes Activatree, PocketTruthAI, and The Jacob Kite Show, Jacob represents a new kind of entrepreneur: one shaped as a creative founder.

 

From an early age, Jacob gravitated toward creation. By 8 months old, music was his first proving ground. Before his teenage years, he released and sold a Christmas album with a friend and his sister, earning several thousand dollars and learning firsthand how ideas become value. He went on to master multiple instruments, professionally perform publicly, release albums on major streaming platforms, compose and collaborate on music for multiple film projects, win numerous awards, and become a professional actor. That creative discipline laid the groundwork for things much larger to come.

 

By fourteen, Jacob had shifted his curiosity toward markets business, studying and investing in stocks, blockchain, and investment strategy. At the same time, he identified gaps in the homeschool education programs he experienced and chose to address them himself. He created and sold study guides for complex subjects such as Latin, science, and liberal arts, online and secured publishing and marketing relationships with organizations including Loyola Press and Classical Conversations, Inc.

 

Leadership soon extended beyond business. Jacob became deeply involved in civic engagement, holding multiple leadership roles within Key Club International, the world’s largest student-led service organization. He served on district boards, committees, and international task forces; and ultimately became one of two final endorsed candidates for the 2025-26 International president election, representing 230,000 members across 40+ countries. In parallel, he founded a nonprofit and served two terms on a youth government city council. For Jacob, these experiences highlighted that meaningful impact requires sustainable funding.

 

That belief became the foundation for Activatree, his flagship company. Originally conceived during a teen business competition, the idea survived years of challenges, including team turnover and legal obstacles. Rather than abandon the project for an easier path, Jacob chose to refine and protect the vision. Activatree has since evolved into a Gen Z–centric social and economic platform focused on content ownership, online safety, and monetization. By integrating blockchain, AI, and new technologies, it aims to equip creators and entrepreneurs with tools that prioritize user value.

 

Jacob’s other ventures include PocketTruthAI, which extends his mission into civic education, using AI to help young Americans better understand constitutional rights, laws, and real-world legal scenarios; and his new podcast, The Jacob Kite Show.

 

Ultimately, Jacob’s long-term vision is shaped by responsibility and scale. His story is about choosing the harder path, thinking generationally, leading as a creative, and building the next generation of worldwide change makers.
