Sir Richard Branson returns as a guest Shark in episode 912 after investing in two businesses in the season 9 premier. Branson joins four regular Sharks (Mark, Daymond, Lori and Robert) as the wealthy panel evaluates four new businesses seeking investments and partnerships.
Oliver Noel wants a Shark’s help capitalizing on the exploding marketplace for DNA information when he pitches DNA Simple, his business that compensates DNA sample donors. Tom Burden, an Air Force jet mechanic, pitches Grypmat, a tray that sticks to any surface and keeps tools close by while working. Sharmi Albrechtsen wants the Sharks to get with her program when she pitches SmartGurlz, her STEM toy aimed at girls featuring dolls that ride coding programmed scooters. Justin Krandel and Bart Lamont want “mow money” to grow Robin, their robotic lawn mowing franchise concept.
Which business nets a Shark tonight?
Sir Richard Branson invested in Doorbot after the company failed to get a Shark onboard in season 5. The company went on to do huge numbers in sales and attracted Branson’s attention when he observed a friend using the app. Tonight’s update shows us how the company grew since its Shark Tank appearance. The segment will undoubtedly include information about Branson’s influence.

Episode 912 – The Shark Investors and Entrepreneurs
The Shark Tank Episode 912 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.
