By selling shoes and donating a pair for every purchase, Mycoskie built TOMS into a $600 million brand that delivered over 100 million pairs to children in need — and handed every social entrepreneur that followed a proven blueprint.
Blake Mycoskie is the Founder of TOMS Shoes, the footwear company that pioneered the one-for-one business model—donating a pair of shoes for every pair sold.
Founded in 2006 after Mycoskie witnessed children in Argentina without shoes, TOMS has donated over 100 million pairs and funded sight-restoring surgeries and clean water programs. The company reached peak revenues over $600 million, and Mycoskie authored the bestseller Start Something That Matters.
