It is every group of friends’ dream to start a company together based on their common interests. Some make it as far as planning and coming up with logos, while others go the distance. For Matthew Goldby and his friends, their dream of starting a business has proved to be more than just a plan hanging in the air. They have taken the extra mile and put their passion, knowledge, and finances together to create the Hoss Company.
Matthew Goldby is an individual who loves sports, from basketball to football. He is a natural athlete who loves to challenge himself. Goldby belongs to a group of friends who have known each other since childhood and have always been passionate about sports. For as long as they could remember, they have been making plans of creating a brand that could cater to other sports lovers. The group would bring back the plan every once in a while until eventually, they decided to take action.
What started as a joke between creative, lifelong friends culminated in a brand called Hoss Company. Hoss Co. was created in the early days of summer 2020. While the pandemic has put most businesses to halt their productions, Hoss Co was fortunate to have a strong base of supporters who kept it afloat the whole time.
Goldby and his friends settled for Hoss because of its slang use to describe a robust, highly-respected and dependable person. The slang is prevalent for men, which fits their vision of creating a brand for athletes or individuals who set out to become the best versions of themselves daily.
Initially starting as a cologne company with hats, Goldby and his friends took their business more seriously and moved to sell apparel, including sweatshirts, pants, hats, beanies, sunglasses, athletic shirts, and t-shirts. The brand’s pride and number one seller is their custom-made athletic shirts. The shirts are guaranteed to keep people’s bodies properly ventilated as they exercise, play sports, or hit the gym. Designed for training, it reduces chafe with its quick-dry, slim fit and four-way stretch technology.
Since creating the company, Hoss Co has caught the attention of several major athletes like Max Strus of the Miami Heat, Frank Kaminsky of the Phoenix Suns, Garrett Crochet of the White Sox, Fabian Herbers of the Chicago, and MMA fighter Roy Nelson, among many others. Each athlete has given positive reviews, boosting the company’s reputation.
What makes Hoss Co. so unique is the story of how a group of friends went beyond just planning and proactively created something out of their passion. Not many people can turn a joke into a successful business. From selling colognes and hats to apparel, Hoss Co. has grown to a full online store and continues to grow, reaching new markets every month.
Matthew Goldby and his friends are learning and adapting to changes every day. They hope to establish Hoss Co. as a well-known brand for every athlete. In the meantime, they are set to release different color options for their athletic shirt line as they currently sell only black, which is a step towards the direction they have set out to achieve.
