Building companies while building a future
Milos is a young founder who has spent his teenage years building. He opened his first online store at 16, found his first winning product at 17, and grew that e-commerce brand into a six-figure monthly business. That early experience took him deep into the mechanics of fast-moving online retail, and from there into a creative-strategy role at a large consumer brand, before he chose to step out and build something of his own.
He is now founding a health-supplement company while studying A Level with IWS, which gives him the structure of a full academic programme without asking him to pause the work he is most driven by. For a student building a company in real time, the flexibility of live online lessons is not a compromise, it is what makes both possible.
In Milos’s own words
“My journey as an entrepreneur began early, opening my first dropshipping store at age 16. By 17, I hit my first winning product and successfully scaled that e-commerce brand to generate six figures per month. This experience taught me the ins and outs of profitable, fast-moving online retail. I used that as leverage to join an eight-figure brand as their Creative Strategist, where I gained experience managing daily 30,000 dollar-plus ad-spend budgets for major growth channels. After six months, I made the decision to leave the role. While I could succeed as a worker, I knew my path was as a founder. That drive, coupled with the full support of my former team, led directly to launching a new supplement designed to support the body’s natural detoxification. The idea struck me when I read a study confirming that microplastics are present in eight of the eleven main organ systems. We are currently raising our first round, in San Francisco, at a three million dollar valuation.”
