Venture Capitalist and guest Shark Chris Sacca returns to the Tank in a tech-centric Shark Tank episode 707. Three companies with some high-tech solutions to modern problems pitch the panel, hoping to grow or start their businesses. Tasha and Antonio Adams pitch their scholarship crowdfunding concept, Village Scholarships, which matches students with scholarship money and micro-loans from friends, family, and philanthropists. Husband and wife team Dave and Ann Crady Weiss pitch Hatch Baby, a smart changing pad that measures weight, sleep time, and more and stores data in a companion app. Dave Hegarty brings Fixed, his app for helping people fight parking tickets, to the Tank with his own brand of social justice. In the low tech pitch of this episode, Nicholas and Alessia Galekovic pitch Beard King, their business that makes a bib for trimming beards.

Episode 707 – The Shark Investors and Entrepreneurs
The Shark Tank Episode 707 entrepreneurs will make their best pitch to the panel of five Shark investors who will use their own money if they choose to invest.
