Billionaire SPANX founder Sarah Blakely returns as a guest Shark in episode 913. Four new businesses will pitch their ideas, products and services to the panel as they seek a Shark as a partner.
Mike Fox and Pat Hughes introduce The Wingman, their “Kickstarted,” US Coast Guard approved, inflatable life vest. David Yusuf, Sal Aziz and Alex Amidi show the Sharks a new way to gift with Bouquet Bar, their floral design inspired gift boxes. Kelechi Anyadiegwa hopes to save Zuvaa, her business that sells African inspired clothing designs that grew too quickly. Nicki Radzely pitches The Pop, a silicone pacifier that “pops when it drops.”
Will any of these businesses leave the Tank with a Shark as a partner?
Tonight’s update segment features Drop Stop, the wildly successful auto accessory Lori invested in back in season 4. Since investing $300,000 for 20% of the business, Drop Stop went on to do MILLIONS in sales. They were featured in several previous updates plus a Beyond the Tank segment. Tonight we see what new heights the business has reached.
There are 28 Shark Tank Episodes for Season 9. This season features more appearances by “guest Sharks,” including billionaire Sir Richard Branson. The 200th episode also airs this season. Casting is currently closed, but it never hurts to get a head start on season ten! If you would like to appear on the show, check out our Auditions and Casting information.
Episode 913 – The Shark Investors and Entrepreneurs
The Shark Tank Episode 913 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.
