Noah Nazarian, 23
Co-Founder of Bahamii
A Beverly Hills native and USC Marshall alumnus, Noah Nazarian is the dynamic force behind Bahamii. He's more than just a successful entrepreneur; he's a community leader, a mentor, and an inspiration to those around him.
"I started Bahamii with my brothers to make snacking on raw dates more convenient," he shares. "Our great grandmother, who lives with diabetes but loves sweets, was our inspiration." With a keen focus on clean, healthy ingredients, Bahamii's Date & Nut Energy Bites have taken both the community and industry by storm. The brand now supplies to local schools, athletic clubs, health foundations, and even nationwide youth centers.
"Success is about giving back and inspiring the next generation of dreamers."
His dedication to community involvement evident in his commitments as a Beverly Hills Rotary member, Next Beverly member, and his work mentoring the Boys and Girls Clubs. "Being closer in age to many of the club members, I am able to connect and inspire them to chase their dreams," he reveals.
From an initial proof of concept run to now selling nationwide, Bahamii has come a long way. "My goal is to share valuable business and life lessons that I've learned," Nazarian says, reflecting on his journey. The future of Bahamii is as sweet and full of potential as its signature bites, and under Noah's leadership, there's no telling how far they'll go.
