Moziah Bridges was only 9 years old when he started his own bowtie company. His reason was simple, he couldn’t find any bowties that “fit his style” or made him “look sharp.” So, with the help of his mother and his retired seamstress grandmother, he started his own bowtie business. He appeared on Shark Tank and landed a big deal with Daymond John to make his business flourish. Daymond said that Mo reminded him of himself when he was younger, and that created a personal relationship between the two.
Now at age 15, his net worth of his company is over $1 million, and he just signed a 7 figure deal in May to make bowties for all 30 of the NBA teams. He said that the league found out about him and said “he’s a cool guy with some cool ties.” This is a huge opportunity for him and is helping him grow him company to even bigger ends.
From 2013 when he was first introduced to the world during Shark Tank, he captured the heart of people with his passion for bowties, and now he is a CEO of his own million dollar company.
I remember watching this episode of Shark Tank. The bow ties are super fun. It’s cool to see how much this company has grown since then. It’s impressive how much the Daymond has helped him grow his business to make bows for the NBA. Shark Tank really is the place to grow great ideas into successful businesses.
I think it’s so funny and endearing that 9 year old Moziah said that he couldn’t find any bow-ties that “fit his style” or made him “look sharp. He took the initiative to make a change, like any good young entrepreneur should, and now at age 15 is making a huge profit!
I find it so cool that young kids have such a sparkle of inspiration that can lead to such success. If only we took the crazy ideas we hear our siblings and nieces and nephews say, and encourage them to make their dreams come true. I bet there would be some pretty cool products roaming around if this were the case! Good for him!
wow Eliana, this blog post was so interesting. It is awesome to hear stories about young kids who are putting their ideas to action and making them a reality. In addition to that the fact that “business is booming” as one might say, for a kid of his age is even more incredible. I hope that his story can be used to inspire many young kids his age.
