Anne Wojcicki returns for her second guest Shark appearance in season 11 for Shark Tank episode 1114. She joins Mark, Lori, Kevin and Daymond in evaluating four new businesses seeking a Shark’s cash and cache. Tonight’s episode features artificial intelligence and computer technology with a smidgen of gadgetry.
Laura Boccanfuso, who has a PhD in computer science and robotics, pitches Abii, her robot that uses artificial intelligence to teach elementary school math. Ming Zhao seeks an investment for Proven, a skincare line that uses artificial intelligence to create customized skin care products. Mother/daughter team Barbara Heilman & Becca Davison introduce UnbuckleMe, a tool that makes unbuckling child car seats easier. Greg Smith, Lisa Love and Brad Johnston pitch Tanoshi, a low cost, preloaded, Android based computer/tablet for kids. Which business lands a Shark tonight?
In tonight’s update segment, Venture investor and former guest Shark turned philanthropist, Chris Sacca, gives an update on Hatch (formerly Hatch Baby). Sacca invested $250,000 for 25% of the business in season seven. Originally the company sold a “smart” changing pad, but it’s since evolved into several sleep products for infants.

Episode 1114 – The Shark Investors and Entrepreneurs
The Shark Tank Episode 1114 entrepreneurs will make their best pitch to the panel of five Shark investors who will use their own money if they choose to invest. The Shark Investors negotiate on the spot without any previous information, which differs from typical negotiations between venture capital investors and entrepreneurial start-ups.
Companies pitching the Shark Investors must go through a rigorous due diligence process before an on-air deal is completed. Shark Tank Blog follow ups help you keep track of the companies that end up successful and the ones that don’t complete their deal.
