At just 9 years old, Moziah Bridges became a ‘Kid-preneur’ and CEO of Mo’s Bows. He appeared on ABC’s Shark Tank at 11 years old and furthered his journey with investor Daymond John. Since then, Moziah has greatly expanded his company.
Moziah fueled his passion for this company based on a need – he couldn’t find any bow ties that fit his style or personality.
Mo’s Bows are unique, hand-made bow ties that “make you look and feel your best while catering to the sometimes conservative, fun-loving lady or gentleman.”
Moziah stated that he wanted to expand his brand to eventually create a clothing line that has blazers and neckties. Currently, his company sells bow ties, of course, neckties, and now face masks. Graduating this past school year in 2020, Moziah dreams of being a fashion mogul and growing Mo’s Bows into a well known public brand.
When going onto Shark Tank, Moziah had sold over 200,000 bow ties. Currently, his company’s net worth is estimated at $2 million.
Moziah says that one of his favorite things about Mo’s Bows is being his own boss and making decisions at every step of the way. His mom is also very active in helping and supporting Mo’s Bows.
Many people can recognize that Moziah is an inspiring entrepreneur because of his young, passionate success. However, they may not know that Moziah also has a redemptive entrepreneurship aspect of his company. His favorite bow tie is the Go Mo Bow because 100% of the proceeds are donated to help kids afford summer camp. Moziah recognized that the summer time is when child hunger is at it’s highest, and he believes in the importance of kids going to summer camp and having a fun time.
There’s a lot to be learned from someone like Moziah. From a young age, he took a passion and turned into a successful business all while having fun.
Moziah’s story is very interesting. It is cool that he saw a need and instead of just dealing with the fact that he couldn’t find bow ties to fit his needs he just made them. What I am seeing a lot in these stories is not that they are necessarily making something new but catering to the needs of people around them. I love that he has a redemptive side too that sends kids to summer camp. I know that the summer camps I went to when I was younger were some of my best and most vivid childhood memories. I really like what Mo is doing.
I love Moziah’s story about solving a problem that he had and decided to take it to the next level. It is cool to see the entrepreneurial mind realize that there isn’t a solution to the current problem and making it his mission to solve his problem. Moziah is a true hero because not only did he find a problem and solve it, but he also solved a need for some people, which is the ability to go to a summer camp. Evan at a young age Moziah showed true maturity by giving everything back to less fortunate people.
I think it is so awesome and inspiring seeing kid-preneurs. I like how Mo’s Bows are unique and hand-made, that “make you look and feel your best while catering to the sometimes conservative, fun-loving lady or gentleman.” How cute, smart, and inventive of him!
It is also inspiring that the Go Mo Bow donates 100% of the proceeds to help kids afford summer camp. We should all learn from Moziah, and his realizations. I like how he recognized that the summer time is when child hunger is at it’s highest, and his belief that kids can grow and be taken care of in summer camps.
Great post!
This story is really cool. It is cool to see how inventive kids can be. His bowties are handmade which in my opinion makes them really special. I have never hear of any other bowties being handmade. It is really nice that he donates his profits to summer camps.
