Shark Tank returns to its Friday night slot for the first time in 2016 with the airing of episode 715. Four new businesses pitch the Sharks in hopes of starting, growing, or saving their businesses. Controlled Chaos, a hair care line for people with curly hair, hopes to untangle their business plan and get an investment. Hungry Harvest, a business that sells and delivers “ugly” produce at a 10-20% discount, hopes a Shark helps them combat the over 6 billion pounds of produce that is wasted each year. Lindsey Laurain has a solution for feeding messy toddlers with her ezpz, food-grade silicon feeding mats. Tony Gauthier, Scott Hoag, and Wesley Osaze hope to freshen up their business, a two-in-one, all-natural, breathe and hand freshener called Sprëtz, with a capital infusion from a Shark.

Episode 715 – The Shark Investors and Entrepreneurs
The Shark Tank Episode 715 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.
