Shark Tank returns for the twelfth season in episode 1201. This year, due to Covid-19 lockdowns in California, the series was filmed in Las Vegas. In the season premier, guest Shark Blake Mycoskie joins Mark, Daymond, Kevin and Lori in evaluating four new businesses seeking a Shark’s cash and mentorship.
Josh Aviv and Chris Ellis introduce SparkCharge, their portable electric vehicle charging stations. Bianca and Pete Badawy, a husband and wife team who are first responders, hope the Sharks smell an opportunity when they pitch GarmaGuard, their anti odor clothing spray. Wylie Robinson hopes for a deal for Rumpl, his blankets made from sleeping bag materials. Carson Grill and his dad, Jason pitch the Touch Up Cup, a container that stores paint for ten years. Which business leaves the Tank with a deal?
Tonight’s update segment features a look at Blake Mycoskie’s rise to entrepreneurial success.
There are 22 Shark Tank Episodes for Season 12. This season features more appearances by “guest Sharks,” including two returning guest Sharks: Alex Rodriguez and Daniel Lubetzky.

Episode 1201 – The Shark Investors and Entrepreneurs
The Shark Tank Episode 1201 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.
