At age 5 Sebastian Martinez started his own company. At a very young age he he had a passion for collecting fun socks. He began to design his own socks once his mother suggested he do so. He began his business with just an interest and a passion of socks. In 2014 he ended up making $15,000 with the help from his older brother who works as his director of sales. The next year’s revenue began to grow and he was expected to double or maybe even triple their sales. The socks sales raised money for cancer awareness and they partnered with other companies to donate to Discovery Arts which helps bring art programs to children with serious illness.
It is amazing to see someone so young to have such a passion for something just as small as socks. I think that he is going to do amazing things with his life. Now that he has success under his belt he will be even more driven for his next project. He is an inspiration to other young children who have a big passion. This just shows that if you have a big enough passion for something, it will drive you to do great things that may also impact those in need.
I agree with you. It is incredible that at such a young age he displays such entrepreneurial potential. Also very impressive that he followed through and created a business that has found such great success.
I think this story is incredible. I mean, five years old is insanely young. The whole thing blows my mind. Honestly, kids are usually extremely creative so I bet the designs of the socks are more unique and fun than any other brand around. I also think it’s great that his family supported him so well.
Wow, 5 years old and starting his own business. He really embodies the entrepreneurial spirit by making money but also providing awareness for meaningful causes making people’s lives better.
Five years old wow!!! Really inspiring I always get stuck in thinking I can’t do anything because I’m not old enough. I LOVE that he was able to find his passion so early in life!
Its incredible that a FIVE year old is so successful and is making this kind of impact. It just shows how far you can go with an idea if you are passionate and motivated. He definitely has a bright future ahead of him!
This story just proves that you can have the passion and idea without the exact skills to start the company to begin the process. You can also work with others, just as he did with his brother. I don’t know if I was potty trained by that time honestly.
