Shark Tank episode 719 is a special “military” show featuring veteran and military spouse entrepreneurs seeking investments from the panel of Sharks. Military wives and entrepreneurs Cameron Cruse and Lisa Bradley hope to bag a Shark with R Riveter, their line of handbags and totes made by military spouses from re-purposed army surplus canvas and fabric. Veteran entrepreneurs Willie Blount and Tarik Rodgers pitch BearTek, their blue tooth enabled line of gloves that lets the wearer control a smart phone and/or GoPro Camera. Former army rangers and Afghanistan combat vets Donald Lee and Matthew Griffin share their business with a bold mission, Combat Flip Flops, which makes “cool stuff in dangerous places.” Retired Air Force Major Angela Cody-Rouget hopes a Shark will buy into Major Mom, her growing business of home and office organization franchises.

Episode 719 – The Shark Investors and Entrepreneurs
The Shark Tank Episode 719 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.

Episode 719 Press Release
Shark Tank: “719” (2/5)
“SHARK TANK” SALUTES THE MILITARY WITH ALL VETERAN AND MILITARY SPOUSE ENTREPRENEURS ON THE FEBRUARY 5 EPISODE OF “SHARK TANK”
“Episode 719” – Veteran and military spouse entrepreneurs try to enlist the Sharks’ investments in their products—will it be a mission accomplished? Two military spouses from Murfreesboro, TN have built a handbag empire using upcycled military materials and piecework from other military spouses—but will the $200+ price point for a bag deter a deal? A former Marine from Columbia, MD and his business partner from Dallas, TX try to sell the Sharks on their gloves that put wireless control of your phone at your fingertips, even while on the ski slopes and motorcycles. A former Air Force Major from Phoenix, AZ looks to franchise her personal organization business that can keep Americans’ homes “majorly” de-cluttered. Two veteran army rangers tout their product line, which empowers locals who make “cool products in dangerous places”—namely Colombia, Afghanistan and Laos—from sandals to sarongs and jewelry. They promote peace through business instead of bullets. “Shark Tank” revisits Air Force veteran Kristina Guerrero of La Pine, OR, owner of Turbopup, the canine meal bars, in which Daymond John invested last season, to see how her business has expanded in just 18 months, on “Shark Tank,” FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5 (9:00–10:01 p.m. EST) on the ABC Television Network.
