Delbarton Alum Named in 'Top Entrepreneurs Under 25'

Who says you have to be a techno-zillionaire, a crazed Middle Eastern despot or a confused sitcom star to get a little media attention these days? Teddy Kingsbery, a 2005 graduate of Delbarton, is making his way as a young entrepreneur the old fashioned way, by taking risks and building a reputation in a growth industry, in this case, media and marketing. Kingsbery was recently named one of the top entrepreneurs under 25 in a contest presented by BroBible.com as reported on Sawyer Speaks, an online media site focusing on entrepreneurs.

Kingsbery is barely two years out of Washington and Lee, and already heads business development at Shark Branding, the company founded by Daymond John, founder of FUBU ('For Us, By Us') and celebrity judge on ABC TV's “Shark Tank,” a popular show that gives budding entrepreneurs an opportunity to make their dreams come true.

Our favorite young entrepreneur joined Shark Branding in August 2009 and helps the company place products in music videos, TV and films, create celebrity events, and arrange brand/celebrity partnerships.

Sawyer Speaks reports that the young entrepreneurs on its Under 25 list “are not necessarily millionaires or living comfortably on some island right now because they sold a dot-com company for $50 million dollars.” Instead, these are young people who are setting goals, taking risks and helping to build companies.
