I’ve loved Moziah Bridges ever since I saw him on Shark Tanka few years ago. He’s thirteen and he has his own bow tie company. He started it when he was nine under the supervision of his mom, Tramica. The thing I love most about his company is how cool the brand is. Everything about it, from the story to the bow tie designs to the way his website is set up, seems to flow together to form one coherent brand that is totally his own. He’s been successful, too. This year alone, he’s projected to make $250,000 in revenue. He sells mainly through his online store but has branched out into shops and boutiques across the United States, too.
I think his story is inspiring because he’s a perfect example that all you need to start a great company is a vision and a support system. He had no experience with the fashion industry when he got into it at nine years old, just a dream and a helpful mom. It’s grown into something huge, just because he had the courage to start.
Moziah still has a lot of dreams he’s chasing after. His goal is to be in college with his own clothing line by the time he’s 20. He also wants to get more involved with charities. Right now, he’s donating money from his business to help his local community center in Memphis.
I think Moziah’s story is fantastic. It’s a simple and classic example of what can happen when you have good intentions and a vision for where you want to go. We can all learn a lot from him.
This kid is a great inspiration too all the young entrepreneurs out there. It great to know that such a simple concept become such a reality with enough effort. Great story!
That’s a lot cooler than a lemonade stand! He truly is an inspiration to all young entrepreneurs to never give up and just go for it- thanks for sharing!
I too also wrote about Mo in one of my posts. Its insane that this kid at such a young age was able to get funding from shark tank and start a bow tie empire. Quite inspiring to see him following his dreams and lets be honest, who doesn’t love bow ties!
This is an awesome story! It’s cool how someone so young can take off with a business just by having a good idea and the support system to help him make it.
This is a great company! I think it is great that he already has a timeline of where he wants to be by the time he is in college. With that type of ambition he will become so successful!
