Shark Tank episode 718 features businesses that make all their products in the USA. The “Made in America Special” features four new businesses seeking an investment and guidance from the panel of wealthy Shark investors. Rachel Nilsson hopes the Sharks try Rags to Raches on for size. Nilsson manufactures a hip line of toddler and pre-teen clothing that’s one of the fastest growing companies in Utah. Erik Hopperstad and Brian Brasch hope the Sharks give PRX Performance, their heavy-duty, folding free weight racks designed to fit in compact spaces, a big lift with an investment. Outdoors-men and entrepreneurs Konnel Banner and Frank Weston light up the Tank with Insta-Fire, a patented blend of volcanic rock, paraffin wax, and wood pellets that gets a fire started in any conditions. Husband and wife “Hotdogtrepreneurs” Dee & Angie Cowger pitch their popular hot dog chili made behind their hot dog stand in West Virginia at the Custard Stand Food Products world HQ.

Episode 718 – The Shark Investors and Entrepreneurs
The Shark Tank Episode 718 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.
