At the young age of 9, Mozaih Bridges launched his business Mo’s Bows. Mo’s Bows makes handmade bowties. This business was inspired by Mozaih’s grandmother, who taught him to sew. With a distinctive and charismatic personality, Moziah was unable to find accessories that perfectly matched his taste. With the help of his grandmother, he began making his own bowties, and in 2011, he started Mo’s Bows.
At the age of 12, Mozaih took his business to Shark Tank, and became the youngest entrepreneur to appear on the show. Daymond John invested in his business, and to this day remains his business mentor. However, even before taking his venture to Shark Tank, Mozaih had already received copious amounts of air time. He had previously been featured on numerous major TV shows, including the Today Show, and many News Channels. To date, Mo’s Bows has made over $700,000 in sales, and has five employees. Mo’s Bows are now sold in retail all over the U.S. Mozaih has partnered with many companies including: Cole Haan, Bloomingdale’s, The Home Shopping Network, and Neiman Marcus.
Mozaih’s mission however is not just to make a profit selling bowties, but also to send impoverished children of Memphis to a summer camp. In 2012, he started Go Mo, a scholarship fund which has sent over fifty kids to summer camp to date.
Mozah did not stop with simply selling bow ties. He also sells regular ties, pocket squares, and hats. Seeking to further his horizon even more, Mozaih made an appearance on the 2021 Memphis fashion week show.
Moziah is an inspiration to entrepreneurs that anyone at any age can be wildly successful. You don’t need to have endless money or a groundbreaking discovery to start up a successful business venture. Moziah simply used his creative instincts, and his ability to design to create something great.
I hate to play devil’s advocate here, but I feel as though this boys age is part of the only reason he became successful. It was not like his buisness was something revolutionary. But so cool we can live in a world that young people can be so successful.
Cool business and great he has a cause attached to it. Mo’s Bows is the perfect name for a business! Overall great post
