20 Sibling-Run Businesses Making Up To 8-Figures Per Year

I’m Marcus, Co-Director of Bruder Watches Ltd, the youngest of three brothers from Bristol, United Kingdom. We pride ourselves on offering high-quality, timeless watches that don’t break the bank. Our company is in its infancy but we have already seen a fantastic appetite for our new range of timepieces called "Fortis". The range consists of five watch styles each designed to look great whatever the occasion. Our company was born at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, so as you can imagine, logistically, it wasn’t without its challenges getting to where we are today.

Nevertheless, the appetite of our customer base has been encouraging, we have seen a steady increase in sales with our target audience is the modern-day gentleman aged between 18-50.

My name is Andrew Pevzner, I and My brother Phillip Pevzner are the founders and owners of Laced Up. Laced Up are a chain of high-end collectible sneaker and streetwear resale stores. We carry brands like Supreme, Jordan, Yeezy, Bape, and more, all limited edition brands with the hype behind them. We currently have 4 retail stores in New York and New Jersey and do a good amount of business online through our website. We specialize in offering high-end collectible items in a convenient retail space with great customer service.

We have grown this business from a single store to 4 locations and over $5 Million annually in sales. We have had over 58,000 orders to customers all over the world. We have built a team of over 30 staff, providing new careers for many and financial security for us and our families.

Hey there! My name is Drew Haines and I am the founder of HoursLogger. My brother and I started our business over 6 years ago and set out to build a simple time tracking and invoicing app that we loved for our own consulting business.

Both Matt and I have been doing software & accounting consulting for years. I’m the software guy and he’s the accounting guy. We wanted to make a time tracker that was as simple & intuitive as possible. We figured if we built an app that we loved, other people might like it too. So HoursLogger was built for people just like us, small business owners that run a consulting/freelancing business.

If I were, to sum up, my experience in one phrase, it would be “slowly but surely”. HoursLogger has always been a side project that’s slowly moving in the right direction. We made ~$9k in passive income last year, are currently closing in on $1k MRR and the app is in a great position to grow.

My name is Mehdi Farsi, I'm the co-founder of State Bicycle Co. in Tempe Arizona. We specialize in great-looking, great riding bicycles, parts, and accessories that are both attractive and affordable.

We sell our own brand of bikes, clothing, and accessories, as well as a handful of curated complimentary products directly on our website and through over 400 bike shops worldwide. The business has grown to over $50m+ in annual sales and we’ve produced over 100,000 bikes.

Hello, my name is Justin Pflanz and my brother Casey and I own and operate TAB Performance. TAB Performance is a manufacturer and retailer of high performance motorcycle exhaust and accessories. Our passion is helping our customers customize their bikes to fit their own personal styles, and truly enjoy the freedom of the ride.

The product that we’re probably best known for is our Zombie baffles, which is actually an internal component we offer for many of our exhaust systems. The Zombie baffle concept came about in early 2017, after Harley-Davidson(R) came out with a new engine and exhaust system on their Touring models. Our original muffler designs, were more traditional, but we kept hearing the same thing from our customers, “Do you have anything louder?” So, we listened to our customers and that’s what we went to work designing, and that when we came up with the Zombie baffle design.

Since the introduction of the Zombie baffle, we’ve been roughly doubling our annual sales, year over year.

Hi everyone! My name is Alastair Kennett and I’m one of the two founders of OptiMale. My brother David and I founded OptiMale just over 2 years ago. OptiMale is a testosterone replacement and men’s health clinic which provides effective treatment to men across the UK who suffer from low testosterone and fertility issues.

Both of us suffered from low testosterone in our late 20s to early 30s and we wanted to provide a convenient, effective and safe service to men like us. We found that treatment in this area was poorly provided and understood, both in the NHS public health service and by private doctors in the UK, with few clinics offering medication to maintain fertility and in the most modern applications.

We identified a gap in the market and aimed to provide a better service and treatment than anyone else by providing convenient consultations with pioneering doctors, medication delivered to patient’s homes through their letterbox, and support which was quick and easily available.

According to people around us, being from a middle-class family and having big dreams doesn’t seem apt. However, these brothers wanted to break this taboo and stereotypical mindset that success only comes to rich people who are enriched with all the necessities. Simultaneously, they had a deep fear, sleepless nights, and multiple other challenges to bring themselves on the ground. Although, they had stronger visions than challenges.

In July 2019, both brothers resigned from their companies to pave the way for their business idea. While resigning, both brothers were aware that they would be going through multiple challenges for instance-

• Having no support at all from family, friends, and close ones.
• Financial challenges
• Listening up to the discouragement of people
• Not possessing any place to implement their ideas

Hello, our names are Ethan and Jacob Sweet and we started Panther RV Products. Today we sell a variety of campervan parts to outdoor enthusiasts and small businesses outfitting cargo vans. We started the business ten years ago, our father Richard Sweet was already running his own business at the time and provided the financing and guidance necessary for us to start Panther RV Products as a sister company to his business.

We currently generate an average monthly revenue of $400K. After 10 years of business, our company direction has changed from parts for motorhomes, to the harder to find parts for campervans. The choices that led to where we are have provided less competition and made it easier for us to grow.

Hi! I’m Logan Christopher, co-founder, and CEO of Lost Empire Herbs. Along with my two brothers, we started an eCommerce company focused on “Performance Herbalism,” which is helping people to get healthier and perform better with herbal supplements that they can actually feel a difference from when taken.

Our best-selling product is Pine Pollen, which is a hormonal powerhouse especially effective in today’s day of xenoestrogens and other endocrine disrupting chemicals. It’s known mostly for helping men but is quite helpful for women too (after all they use and need testosterone too).

Our main demographic is older men, as many only seek out alternative solutions to the Western medical system when things start breaking down, and those solutions aren’t working for them. That being said we have something for everyone and are working to expand our demographic out, especially to more women.

My name is Jesse Hambly, I’m 1 of 3 brothers working at Pressa Inc. Luke and Mason are full-time founders as well. We have a diverse background, Luke manages engineering and manufacturing duties. Mason is in charge of media, content creation and strategy, and I (Jesse) oversee marketing, operations, and customer relations. We’ve been in business since 2015 where we’ve been selling our flagship product, Pressa Bottle. Pressa Bottle is a unique water bottle that allows the user to juice and press real fruit into any beverage.

Our company operates at just over $50k per month and we do this primarily through our .com and Amazon. We do sell in a few retailers which are Saks Fifth Avenue, Dillards and Uncommon Goods. The product lends itself well to the healthy/active crowd but we also sell a lot of units for flavored cocktails.

I ́m Manuel Mas and I run with my family Mundoalfombra.com since the year 2001, where we sell rugs and carpets, most of them created in our town in Spain: Crevillent (near Alicante). My brother Antonio is our CEO.

We sell mostly in Spain, but sometimes some international orders arrive and we are happy to serve them. :)

We sell all types of rugs and carpets for home and professional use. Think in all forms and sizes, also materials: natural fibers, leather, wool, acrylics, etc… and you ́ll have the perfect rug for your needs available in our store. Also, we are specialists in doormats and custom-sized rugs. The lack of specialized online stores in custom-sized rugs made our web reference in Spain for these needs.

Hello StarterStory! My name is Love Regefalk (yes – it actually is) and I am the co-founder of Mapsery. I founded Mapsery together with my twin brother, Daniel, and we run Mapsery on the side of our engineering studies.

The idea of Mapsery is to let you design a map posters of a place that’s meaningful to you, such as where you went to university, got married or where you grew up. Literally any location on the face of the earth can be chosen. All you have to do is to enter your preferred location, adjust the level of zoom and decide on a color theme and style that matches your criteria for an awesome looking poster. Want a map of London or New York? You got it! Want a map of the middle of nowhere? No problemo! Unlike regular stock posters, our posters can be customized in an infinite number of ways, making them truly unique and personal.

That being said, although our maps are unique, the idea isn’t. When we launched Mapsery at the end of 2017, there were two other competitors in this space. Since then, 5-10 new direct competitors have seen the light and space has gotten way more competitive.

Hi all! My name is Eugene Ravitsky. I co-founded FactoryPure with my brother, Mike. We are an online retailer covering several product categories with an emphasis on heavy goods, particularly generators. We also carry smaller items, like drones and electric skateboards.

Our business is mainly B2C, but we provide a solid supply of generators to commercial customers like installers and electricians. This includes anything from inverter generators (small, quiet, and good for camping) to portable (open frame, larger, great for the field), to standby (whole-home power backup). The primary demographic for this category is males 35 and older, while products like electric skateboards, hoverboards, scooters, and drones will trend younger.

Our cumulative sales were $2.6M in 2017 and $6.1M in 2018. Today, we generate around $3M per month in revenue.

Hi there, my name is Robb Fahrion and I am the Co-Founder and Partner of Flying V Group, a digital marketing and advertising company located. We service clients all across the globe and help them grow their business through the power of the internet. My passion is for business and there is nothing more rewarding than helping others grow their businesses and share in their successes.

Our flagship service is centered around search engine optimization and content marketing. SEO is the best investment someone can make into their business, bar none. SEO provides tremendous value alongside content marketing that will turn your business into the expert voice in the space. With that being said, we provide end-to-end marketing and advertising solutions for our partners.

Today, Flying V Group employs 12 people, has worked with over 300 clients, operates internationally, and is on pace to double revenue for the second year in a row. Crazy to think about being here when my brother and I both got up and quit our corporate jobs and put $5k into the project to get us started!

My name is Igbo Clifford Chimaizuobi, and I launched Information Guide Africa with my twin, Igbo Stanford Onyemaizuchi.

I am from Nigeria and have lived 100% of my life here. Unlike some other countries, blogging is close to saturated here, thanks to the lack of job opportunities.

My first blog was on literature, and attracting readers wasn't so easy. From there I moved on to a general niche blog and eventually launched a PR agency, Julob Media Consultancy with my twin and a friend, Okafor Izuchukwu.

Origen RV Accessories makes and sells the world’s only permanent jack pad, a new product category in the RV industry. We began by selling SnapPads exclusively to the luxury end segment of RVs (Class A Motorhomes and Fifth Wheels), but have gradually added new versions across other segments, including Class C, Class B, and smaller towables.

In our first year of operation, we grossed over USD 130,000 and have grown by an average of 124% year-over-year since then. Our catalog now includes over 40 SKUs and our product lines are carried by six major distributors, numerous online resellers, and more than 300 RV dealerships. During our last consumer survey, our company recorded a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 88.

For as long as we can remember, my sister and I wanted to own a business together. It started with lemonade stands when we were 5 and 7! We had no clue it would eventually be a Fat-Freezing empire and 1000s of happier and more confident clients. As a child I was once told, “JJ (my nickname) it’s a good thing you work hard because you are pretty stupid.”

For some reason that comment left its mark and I knew without a doubt I’d play a big game, build a successful company, and prove that person wrong.

In October 2014, my sister and I tried to buy an existing medspa. The doctor politely declined but did mention, “girls there is enough fat to freeze for all of us to win. Go out there, start your own thing, and do well!” This was a remarkable thing for the doctor to say and it gave us the courage and excitement to do it!

Hi! We are the Simple Goodness Sisters, real-life sisters Belinda Kelly (4 years younger, the bartender) and Venise Cunningham (the older sister and the farmer.) We are a lifestyle beverage brand focused on bringing the world a Happier Hour, from garden to glass.

The products we make are “farm to bar” mixers and accessories for drink making and entertaining, made with edible flowers and herbs we grow on our sustainable cocktail farm. The products are completely natural, without additives or chemicals for the best taste and product possible. Our mission is to help people celebrate their lives and build community around a round of drinks. We believe everyone should get an invite to Happier Hour, so we market our drink syrups for cocktails and alcohol free cocktails alike, and have customers buying them for dessert, breakfast, and ice cream toppings as well.

The first product we launched were our simple syrups. The syrups launched in three flavors in Fall 2018 (Rhubarb Vanilla Bean, Marionberry Mint, and Huckleberry Spruce Tip), followed by 3 additional flavors in Spring 2019 (Lemon Herb, Berry Sage, and Blueberry Lavender), and edible flower salts and sugars for rimming in Fall 2019. During that time we pushed our ability to grow, harvest, and package in a major way, growing at a rate of 4 times our original production, with quite a learning experience along the way. We both come from a technical background in corporate Seattle, so organic farming, food production, and entrepreneurship are all areas we’re learning by doing, and Google!

Hello there! We are Lindsay Ann Gottschall and Courtney Joy Bleier, two sisters from Miami who started Ann + Joy. We make handmade real flower and resin jewelry and sell online and in stores around the world. We take pride in being one of the first companies to make real flower jewelry. During our first year of business, we blossomed almost immediately into a very successful Etsy shop. Etsy was constantly featuring our products on its website and in promotional emails. We are proud to say that since starting in early 2017 we have had over 5,000 sales online.

For all the readers, we are providing a 20% off coupon to our Etsy shop. Use code: STARTERSTORY at checkout!

Hi! My name is Pragya Batra and I am the co-founder of Quirksmith, a design company that creates handcrafted jewelry and accessories.

Quirksmith, as a brand, is much more than just creating pretty jewelry. We create designs that are inspired by our values and beliefs. Several of our designs incorporate Indian languages (like Hindi, Urdu, and Bengali) as well as inspiring words and poetry. One such example is the “Aham Brahamasmi” earcuffand thumb ring. Aham Brahamasmi is a Sanskrit phrase that means “I am the Universe! and I am responsible for what I become”. In essence, we create designs that people around the world can relate to. They are not just decorative pieces.

I started Quirksmith with my sister Divya Batra, who is a jewelry designer and graduated from one of the most prestigious design schools in India (NIFT, Gandhinagar). We started Quirksmith about 3.5 years back in the year 2016. From a weekend passion project for 2 sisters, it soon became our full-time passion. We now process orders worth $40,000 every month and work with artisans across India, to keep the silversmithing craft alive!
