Moziah Bridges better known as ‘Mo Bridges’ began a unique business. Mo made an appearance on the TV series Shark Tank to promote his business, Mo’s Bows.
Mo was inspired by his father who believed in dressing smart every day no matter the occasion. Following in his father’s footsteps, he soon found himself shopping for bow ties. However, not long into his search, he was discontent with the options available on the market. He saw a need for stylish, quality, and affordable bow ties. Thus the birth of Mo’s Bows.
He began making his own bows shortly before the beginning of his company. At the age of 9, Mo opened his doors for business by launching Mo’s bows in 2011 and selling them on Etsy. And in 2015, during the NBA draft, several of the players who would be drafted wore his ties on the big night. Mo would soon after attend the Mercedes Benz Fashion week with his Shark Tank investor, Daymond John.
Mo says that he has always felt a strong passion for fashion. Mo’s Bows has allowed him to create a higher-quality product that holds a high place of respect in the fashion industry.
There is a need for stylish bow ties because I personally don’t wear them because I think they look bad. I like this idea because it solves a problem in my personal life and the kid is so young doing it. The fact that he could get a shark tank investor at such a young age is huge and I think this idea will continue to take off.
It’s wonderful that Bridges was able to identify the problems of both affordability and quality at such a young age. Also, his ability to make a professional pitch for the people on Shark Tank at just 9 years old is incredibly impressive. Hopefully, Bridges will be able to expand his interest in bowties to other areas in the fashion industry. Finding high-quality products with good fashion can be difficult depending on the article of clothing. If Bridges chooses to take advantage of that open market, he could quickly go far as an entrepreneur.
