Episode 802 has just five Sharks in the Tank as four new businesses vie for an investment. Leslie Pierson, a “momtrepreneur” from Washington state, wants to attract a Shark to GoodHangUps, a magnetic, non-marking wall hanging system that was the Today Show’s “Next Big Thing” in 2015. Nick Massie, a self-professed “culinary ninja,” wants the Sharks to bite on Ice Age Meals, his healthy, frozen meals with Paleo leanings. Father and son team Jeff and Jack Danos hope their invention, the Tactibite Fish Call – a fisherman’s secret weapon, will catch a Shark. Sebastian Garcia and Raul Bernal show the Sharks how to change any suit into a tuxedo with their invention called The Lapel Project.

Episode 802 – The Shark Investors and Entrepreneurs
The Shark Tank Episode 802 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.
