Snow Scholars: Jake Piekarski (22)
Originally from Huntington Beach, California, Jake’s entrepreneurial journey began at just 8 years old, selling hockey tape outside his local rink. Over the years, he’s built six businesses, including JPS Surfboards and Chore Hub, which employed 180 students to serve over 3,000 homeowners annually.
At the end of 2022, Jake launched Snow Scholars, connecting college students with homeowners needing help shoveling snow. His innovative vision caught national attention on Shark Tank Season 16, where he secured a $150,000 investment from Mark Cuban to scale the business. With plans to expand to 26 college towns by next year, the vision for Snow Scholars is just getting started.
Jake is only 22 years old.
