Daymond John career
John’s journey with FUBU began right in his mother’s humble abode in Hollis, Queens. Inspired to create a clothing line for young men, John’s mother not only taught him how to sew but also opened up her home to help him kick-start the business.
Fast forward to 1994, and John found himself at the Las Vegas fashion trade show Magic, where he and his partners scored a whopping $300,000 in orders from retailers. To fulfill these orders, they needed capital, leading John and his mother to take out a second mortgage on their home—a risky move that could have cost them everything.
Despite the challenges, John’s determination and entrepreneurial spirit paid off. He’s not only invested over $8.5 million of his own funds into Shark Tank ventures but has also helped the show rack up an impressive collection of 4 Emmy Awards and 9 nominations.
One notable success story from his Shark Tank portfolio is Bubba ‘s-Q Boneless Ribs, where John’s expertise helped skyrocket sales from $154,000 to a staggering $16 million in just three years.
Beyond Shark Tank, John wears many hats as the CEO and founder of The Shark Group, a renowned brand management and consulting firm headquartered in the heart of Manhattan, New York.
