Behind The Empire

Hey, I'm Mike Pudzianowski, the Founder of Marcozo.

Here's a quick story about how Marcozo was started. I'll keep it real.

Marcozo started 11 years ago when I was 19 years old in my bedroom while living with my parents. Most founders tell you that they started their businesses because they saw an opportunity in the market or wanted to solve a problem — that's not mine. I started Marcozo because I was dead broke with -$47 in my bank account and tried to make some money so my parents wouldn't kill me when they found out.

I've always had an entrepreneurial spirit growing up and constantly bought and resold things. I also loved putting my mind to projects and being creative.

We started shipping orders out of my parent's basement and then moved into a bigger warehouse as I couldn't keep up with the demand by myself. As we continued to grow, we hired our own designers so we could create designs that are custom to Marcozo and have better control of the quality of our jewelry.

My purpose naturally changed as we grew too — I really started to see what Marcozo can grow into and what we're capable of. My purpose is now far beyond making money. We're building an Empire to last 800+ years. I am dedicated to this brand for life. There is no plan B for us.

OUR MISSION

To become the #1 Men's Jewelry brand in the world — but most importantly, to serve you as best we can by creating premium quality products and by empowering the empire builders of tomorrow.
