Daniel Fogelson and Jordan Barrocas pitch Three Jerks Beef Jerky, literally the Filet Mignon of beef jerky, in Shark Tank episode 705.

SwitchWitch creator Rob Bouley, like a lot of parents, was mortified by the amount of Halloween candy his kids brought home, so he looked for a way to curb the sugar-infused gluttony without ruining the fun and becoming “that dad.” Bouley, who owns an ice cream shop, isn’t anti- treat, he just things are way […]

Skinny Mirror inventor Belinda Jasmine didn’t like what she saw in the mirror one day, so she decided to do something about it.

October 12, 2015 by 2 Comments
Jovon English has a sweet tooth and one day she created a mash-up of a brownie and a cookie in a cupcake shape to satisfy it; she called it a brookie.
