What are investors?

Investors are people who use their money to help things grow, just like a garden grows when you water it.

Imagine you have a lemonade stand, and you want to sell more lemonade. You might need more lemons, cups, or even a bigger table. But you don’t have enough money right now. That’s where an investor comes in! An investor is like a friend who says, “I’ll give you some of my money, and in return, I hope you’ll share some of your profits later.” It's like borrowing a toy from a friend so you can build something bigger, and then giving them a candy in return.

Sometimes, investors aren’t just friends. They could be parents, teachers, or even other kids who want to help their favorite lemonade stand grow big! When they give money, it's like giving seeds to a plant, the more seeds (money) you have, the bigger your plant (your business) can get.

Investors don’t always stay for long. They might wait until your lemonade stand is super popular and then take some of that success as their reward, just like when you share your favorite candy with a friend!
