Bob and Sara Moylan hope for some support from a Shark when they pitch She Fit Sports Bras in episode 716. Sara is a former competitive beauty pageant participant who now competes on the Fitness America circuit. Working out continues to be a big part of her life. As a life-long fitness enthusiast, Sara had […]
Breathometer Update with Mark Cuban
While patrolling the show floor at CES, I stopped to get a Breathometer update when I spied their booth. IPhone camera and notebook in hand, I approached the marketing director to check on their progress (Charles Michael Yim was not there). Some people may not be aware of their recent partnership with Uber, who provides discounts […]
Beard Bib by Beard King
Beards are still in and guys with beards who have significant others will want a beard bib by Beard King in their tonsorial repertoire. Nicholas Galekovic rocks the close-cropped, full beard (not the full-on shaggy “hipster style”), so he obviously trims regularly. Anyone with a beard (or who lives with someone who has one) knows this […]
Affiliate Summit West 2016
It’s that time of year again: time for Affiliate Summit West 2016! For four days, I’ll be in Las Vegas meeting and learning from top movers and shakers in the affiliate marketing industry. It’s an intensive and comprehensive conference and the Shark Tank Blog was actually “born” there 4 years ago! Many Shark Tank businesses […]
Smart Changing Pad – Hatch Baby
We have smart homes, smart cars, smart phones, even smart beds – why not a smart changing pad? With the ever-increasing ubiquity of automated, app-enabled devices, it was just a matter of time before baby products started having smart features. Baby monitors have been around for two decades and now Hatch Baby is stepping things […]
Scholarship Crowdfunding – Village Scholarships
Scholarship crowdfunding seems like a very good idea, especially when people crowdfund everything from business start-ups to honeymoons to funerals. I am actually surprised nobody has implemented it already. Tasha and Antonio Adams hope the Sharks will like their ahead-of-the-curve thinking when they pitch Village Scholarships, their scholarship crowdfunding concept, in Shark Tank episode 707. […]
Traffic Ticket App – Fixed
David Hegarty brings a little bit of social justice combined with entrepreneurship when he pitches his traffic ticket app, Fixed, in a tech-heavy episode 707. Hegarty sounds more like a legal clinic advocate than a businessman when he discusses the mission for his company, but that passion is what makes the business so successful. Hegarty […]
The Happy Mat by ezpz
Lindsey Laurain created the Happy Mat for one simple reason: toddlers are complete slobs! Anyone who ever had to feed a 1-4 year old knows sometimes more than half the food on the plate ends up somewhere other than the child’s mouth. She hopes the Sharks see how useful the product is when she pitches […]
Controlled Chaos Curl Creme
When I was searching for information about Controlled Chaos Curl Creme, I went old school and made a phone call to Alanna York, who pitches the product on Shark Tank episode 715. I couldn’t find any information of the product or company, other than a thinly built-out Facebook page. All I had was her name, which […]
Ugly Produce with a Purpose – Hungry Harvest
Ugly produce tastes the same as pretty produce and it has the same nutritional value, too. Unfortunately, a lot of perfectly good produce – over 6 billion TONS – gets thrown away every year, just because it doesn’t “look right.” Evan Lutz found a way to save all these vegetables from going to the island […]
