Shark Tank is back for a tenth season and episode 1001 is the season premier. Guest Shark Jamie Siminoff, a former business owner who pitched Doorbot (RING) in the Tank back in season 5, is the first of many guest Sharks appearing in season 10. Siminoff declined a deal with Mr. Wonderful in season five, but ultimately built his business and sold it to Amazon for $1 Billion, surpassing Mr. Wonderful’s wealth!
Siminoff and the other four Sharks will evaluate four new businesses in the season 10 premier. Emma Cohen and Miles Peppers hope the Sharks want to help them protect the oceans with Final Straw. It’s a reusable, stainless steel drinking straw that fold up inside a small key fob for easy transport. Heidi and Cory Santiago want to cook up a deal for Bear Minimum, their portable, folding cookware. Tripp Phillips and his father Lee seek a Shark to help them with Le Glue, a water-soluble, temporary glue for LEGO projects. Brad Ruffkess wants to put an end to porch piracy when he shows of BoxLock. It’s an app enabled padlock that lets delivery drivers leave packages in a locked container.

Episode 1001 – The Shark Investors and Entrepreneurs
The Shark Tank Episode 1001 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.
