Oak Hill, WV (WOAY) – Kai Murphy is 20 years old and from Marlinton, West Virginia. He is working hard to get his dream of operating his own coffee truck business off the ground.
Butters Coffee is the name of the coffee truck, and he works with Mountain Table out of Rennick, West Virginia, to roast his beans.
He is currently in 9th place in the National Entrepreneur of Impact Competition, and as the only West Virginian in the competition, he is hoping to get your vote to move him into first place.
The grand prize is $25,000 with an opportunity to meet Damond John from Shark Tank to realize more potential for his business.
To vote for our fellow West Virginian and help him realize his dream, please visit entrepreneurofimpact.org/2026/kai-murphy. You will then be asked to log into your Facebook account – only those with a Facebook account can vote.
The deadline is April 2.
Kai is currently living in Indianapolis, working two jobs and volunteering with a church. He made the move to find better job opportunities, but winning would allow him to return home to West Virginia and build his business.
