A Fresh Sheet Disposable Sheets – AFreSHeet

Dorm room beds need a fresh sheet more often than most college kids will do laundry, that’s why Maxwell Cohen invented AFreSHeet – his line of waterproof, disposable sheets. Dorm beds aren’t just for sleeping, they’re also used as couches, tables, study space, and more. Since most dorm rooms are small, the bed gets a […]

WP Engine – The Web Host for Shark Tank Entrepreneurs

The folks at WP Engine know how real the Shark Tank effect is. When businesses appear on Shark Tank, they can literally explode overnight. For companies that appear on the show, their traffic has huge spikes during the show’s airing, and in many cases in the weeks that follow. Having a site crash due to massive Shark Tank-induced traffic […]

Edible Soap – Saavy Naturals

When you think of soaps, shampoos, and body lotions, you don’t think of snacking, but Saavy Naturals may have you doing just that after they pitch their line of edible soap products in Shark Tank episode 708. Saavy Naturals is the brainchild of former chefs, restaurateurs, and avid organic gardeners Hugo and Debra Saavedra. They’ve always […]

Workout Board – Simply Fit

When you see Linda Clark and Gloria Hoffman twisting away on their Simply Fit workout board, you can’t help but smile. They definitely love their product and enjoy demonstrating it, and they do it with such enthusiasm. Their product reminds me of a 1970’s product called the Disc-o-Trimmer, a disk you’d presumably do “The Twist” on […]

Automated Doorman – Clean Cube

Arthur Shmulevsky and Ryan Agran are two former Morgan Stanley trading desk jockeys who want to bring the automated doorman to one thousand buildings in New York. They’ll pitch their business, called Clean Cube, in Shark Tank episode 708. The business was started by Shmulevsky when he got tired of schlepping his laundry to the […]

100 Calorie Ice Cream – Wink Frozen Desserts

If you Google “100 calorie ice cream,” Wink frozen desserts will be near the top of the results page. The thing is, Wink isn’t ice cream and they are careful not to use the term when referring to themselves, that’s why they’re called Wink Frozen Desserts. Their 100 calorie ice cream pints are actually frozen […]

Rent Like a Champ Interview – Drew Mitchell & Mike Doyle

If you want to rent like a champ, you have to think like a champ and it’s that kind of thinking that ultimately led to the formation of Rent Like a Champion, a company presenting to the Sharks in episode 704. It was thinking of championships that started Drew Mitchell down the path to forming […]

Rapid Inflation Technology – Wind Catcher

Ryan Frayne had relatively modest goals when he ran a Kickstarter campaign to get his Wind Catcher “Air Pads” produced. He was looking for $50,000 and raised nearly three times that amount. The Air Pad, an air mattress, uses what Frayne calls “rapid inflation technology,” which is fancy talk for the large, bag-like inflation “valve” […]

STEM Learning Centers – STEMCenter USA

STEMCenter USA’s Lavanya and Melissa Jawaharlal are sisters who share a vision for how we educate children in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). They believe kids should be exposed to STEM as young as possible and they provide classes in their STEMCenter Learning Center in Pomona, CA to kids as young as 4 years […]

SWAG Essentials Update – Interview with Lydia Evans

There is a Swag Essentials Update segment in Shark Tank episode 704. If you recall, entrepreneur Lydia Evans’ memorable line in her initial appearance was quite humorous. Lydia, a happily single woman, told Daymond she likes “long, romantic walks to the bank!” Despite her cheery nature and quality product (glycerin-based soaps embedded with loofah particles), […]

Football Weekend Rentals – Rent Like a Champion

Rent Like a Champion is the AirBnB of college football weekend rentals. Co-founder Drew Mitchell and CEO Mike Doyle will be pitching their groundbreaking business in Shark Tank episode 704. Like AirBnB, Rent Like a Champion acts as a middleman between people willing to rent out their homes and people seeking lodging in popular college football towns. Unlike AirBnB, […]

Ready to Drink Hot Coffee – Hot Shot

Danny Grossfeld likes his coffee and he likes it hot, that’s why he’s trying to bring his Hot Shot ready to drink coffee to market in the USA. Grossfeld “discovered” ready to drink coffee in a can in Japan, where it’s been around for years. He keeps Hot Shot hot with his HotBox, a “hot […]

Litie Laces – Product Review

One of the cool things about writing the Shark Tank Blog is a lot of businesses send me samples for review – whether they’ve been on the show or not. I recently received a pair of Litie Laces in the mail for review; they’re lighted shoelaces! Basically, it’s a flexible, shoe-lace like, LED tube with […]

Wurkin Stiffs Update – Jonathan Boos Interview

I recently spoke with Jonathan Boos to get a Wurkin Stiffs update. Jonathan is an “old school” Shark Tank entrepreneur – Wurkin Stiffs was the first pitch of season two’s first broadcast episode, which also happened to be Mark Cuban’s first appearance as a “guest Shark” (Cuban went full-time in season three). While the episode […]

XCraft Drone – XPlusOne

JD Claridge and Charles Manning introduce the XCraft Drone to the Sharks and the world in episode 705. Claridge, an aerospace engineer, invented the XCraft – a drone that’s part “traditional” drone and part remote control airplane. Like regular drones, it hovers in helicopter-like fashion for take-off and landing. When it reaches a certain altitude, it […]

Three Jerks – The Filet Mignon of Beef Jerky

Daniel Fogelson and Jordan Barrocas pitch Three Jerks Beef Jerky, literally the Filet Mignon of beef jerky, in Shark Tank episode 705. There are only two of them – the third “jerk” is the jerky itself! Lots of food products pitched on Shark Tank are started in the entrepreneurs’ kitchens, but Three Jerks Jerky is the […]

Switch your Halloween Candy – SwitchWitch

SwitchWitch creator Rob Bouley, like a lot of parents, was mortified by the amount of Halloween candy his kids brought home, so he looked for a way to curb the sugar-infused gluttony without ruining the fun and becoming “that dad.” Bouley, who owns an ice cream shop, isn’t anti- treat, he just things are way […]

Bare Naked Skinny Mirror

Skinny Mirror inventor Belinda Jasmine didn’t like what she saw in the mirror one day, so she decided to do something about it. There’s an old saying: “the camera adds tens pounds;” the same thing can be said for many mirrors. Belinda says more than 50% of mirrors have imperfections that make you look tubby. […]

Foot Cardigan Update

Foot Cardigan Update While still basking in the afterglow of their on-air deal with Troy Carter and Mark Cuban, the guys at Foot Cardigan found themselves SWAMPED with orders. I followed up with Bryan after last week’s interview to get a Foot Cardigan update. Bryan began our conversation by telling me how freaked out he […]

Luminoodle by Power Practical – Interview with Caleb Light

Luminoodle is the latest product from the brain trust at Power Practical, creators of the Power Pot. Power Pot got a deal with Mark Cuban back in season five. I spoke with Caleb Light today about what the company is up to now, and he gave me an update on their latest project. Power Pot’s […]

Dude Products – Dude Wipes

The Dudes, aka Sean Riley, Ryan Meegan, and Jeff Klimkowski, pitch their business, Dude Products, to the Sharks in episode 706. Every once in a while, a product comes out that markets itself to its target demographic perfectly. The dudes at Dude Products are doing just that with their Dude Wipes. Dude Wipes are essentially baby wipes for big […]

EZPEEZ – Potty Training Aid

Inventor and entrepreneur Brian Kleinschmidt pitches EZPEEZ, the next generation potty training aid, in Shark Tank episode 706. Brian is currently in pre-production mode, so EZPEEZ isn’t available for sale, but you can sign up to pre-order on their website. There’s no pricing info, so we’ll need to wait until the show airs to see what […]

Brownies + Cookies = Brookies – Milk and Brookies

Jovon English has a sweet tooth and one day she created a mash-up of a brownie and a cookie in a cupcake shape to satisfy it; she called it a brookie. As with many ridiculously good treats, friends and family wanted more, so English teamed up with Marques Brooks and Naimah Harris in 2014 to open […]

Coal Oven Pizza from Table 87

When Tom Cucco opened Table 87 Coal Oven Pizza in 2013, he probably never envisioned being on Shark Tank, but here he is in episode 706, pitching his business. Cucco is serving up “old school,” New York style pizza. Most pizza joints in New York (or anywhere else for that matter) use gas ovens – […]

Foot Cardigan Interview – Bryan DeLuca & Matt McClard

I spoke with Bryan DeLuca and Matt McClard the day before they were scheduled to appear on Shark Tank episode 703. They’re two of the four guys behind the brilliantly zany Foot Cardigan subscription sock service; they’re also the two guys who pitch the Sharks in what promises to be an entertaining segment: they actually […]
