#Klipped kippah johns hopkins series

At the time, there was nothing else like it in our industry. A lot of our products are custom, so seven years ago before third-party platforms for customization were easily accessible, we built a system from the ground up where users could design yarmulkes and see what their creations would look like directly on the site. My business model wasn’t designed to be on the web at first, but it became part of the strategy after the fact. I didn’t initially start out as an e-commerce business per say, I came up with a product and then I started to sell it online. Can you tell us a bit about your ‘backstory’ and how you got started? Thank you so much for joining us in this interview series! Before we dive in, our readers would love to “get to know you” a bit better. Currently, in addition to the Klipped Kippahs, they also manufacture apparel, including management and fulfillment for the Olympic Israeli Baseball Team looking to participate as one of six teams in the upcoming Tokyo games. Today, Jon holds four national and international patents, manufactures the patented yarmulkes with licensed MLB and NBA logos and leveraged this single item into a general custom event production company. Klipped Kippahs are sold all over the world, both in bulk for custom orders and in retail quantities. In addition to sports, Klipped Kippahs can be worn whenever a regular yarmulke is required, as a convenient and aesthetically appealing replacement to your yarmulke and clips. In addition to being used with great success by his team at then Weinbaum Yeshiva High School in Boca Raton (Now Katz Yeshiva High School), over 400 schools nationwide now enjoy the many benefits of Klipped Kippahs as well. Klipped Kippahs was born as a solution to this problem.

Before it became a major media issue, Jon invented a yarmulke with clips built inside. One season, the Florida High School Athletic Association decided that the boys could not use standard metal clips or bobby pins to keep their yarmulkes on their heads while they played, as was required for safety reasons by school policy.
