Jared Joyce, the inventor of 5 Minute Furniture and many other items, appeared on Shark Tank last week. He was one of the more animated and engaging entrepreneurs of the season so far, and I think he may be one of the smartest. I predicted he would get funded, but I was wrong. He didn’t, […]

Raven Thomas founder, The Painted Pretzel is my pick to send Shark Tank fans online immediately to order her specialty Gourmet Pretzels. The last time an event happened like what I’m anticipating tonight, was caused by Barbara Corcoran’s investment in Kim Nelson’s Daisy Cakes. She had over 70,000 visits in the first three minutes of […]

Fans and followers of the Shark  Tank have surely seen Jared Joyce’s video from Kirk’s post yesterday.  It is unclear- probably intentionally so- exactly what Jared will be pitching to the sharks. This is somewhat unusual for the shark tank since most entrepreneurs have one specific product to pitch. Kirk guessed he’d be pitching his […]

M3 Girl Designs is run by the mother/daughters team of Diane, Maddie, and Margot Bradshaw. The trio of female entrepreneurs appeared on Shark Tank and embodied one of the more curious business on the show to date. Two kids and a mom selling crafts is not unusual in itself, what makes M3 Girl Designs unique […]

Jared Joyce is pumped up, confident and strutting his stuff for his upcoming appearance on Shark Tank. Let’s hope he’s all that, because if he’s not, well let’s just see what happens. I don’t even know what he does as of this moment, but I’m entertained by him so far. Off to the Jared Joyce […]

What do you do when you have a marginal product that you want to fund on The Shark Tank? Trot out a buxom babe to help demonstrate it, that’s what.

Is Reality TV real? In some cases we don’t think so, but in this case, more than most viewers and even writers know.

This Friday, Ivory and Wallace Tennelle present the Swilt on Shark Tank in hopes to get exposure and investment from The Sharks. They will definitely get the exposure which should send their sales spiking. I’m betting if they have a reasonable ask that they will get the money too! The Swilt is a sweater and […]

Shark Tank presents Shelly Ehler a stay-at-home mom who substitutes as a school teacher part-time.

That’s when she thought of ShowNo, a product designed […]

Mark Cuban surprised some people and caused other people to second guess his decision to invest in Steve Gadlin’s company, “I want to draw a cat for you”. My prediction said Gadlin would be funded by the Sharks. Thanks to Mark Cuban for making that prediction come true. What surprised me and others, including guys I […]

I’ve done pretty well predicting the outcomes of the deals ahead of time but EZ VIP was a miss for me. I have to hand it to Alashe Nelson, a young entrepreneur from Miami who kept a lid on what was going to happen. His site showed no signs of a Shark Tank deal at […]
