Stewart Gold pitches Dingle Dangle, his headband/baby mobile, in Shark Tank episode 1511. Stewart and his business partner Mark Hamilton (not appearing on the show) created the product to make diaper changing easier. Mark got the idea for the product after a harrowing experience changing his daughter’s diaper in an airport public restroom. She was squirming and screaming and he needed a way to distract and calm her.
That was the genesis of the product. When Mark shared the idea with his upstairs neighbor, Stewart, Stewart came on board. He was a new dad too. Starting with hangers, Go Pro straps and stuffed animals as prototypes, they spent a year perfecting their product. Both men have business experience: Stewart is an attorney and Mark owns a recruiting business.
They introduced their product to the world on IndieGoGo and raised a little over $5000 in October, 2022. Since then, it’s gotten a lot of media attention. Parents love it, even if they look a little silly wearing it. The Dingle Dangle, when you aren’t wearing it, converts into a portable mobile that clips onto a crib. It also comes with a pufferfish rattle, and a silicon teether. Stewart likely wants a Shark’s help with inventory.

Dingle Dangle Shark Tank Recap
Stewart will pitch the panel of five Sharks on the business and its prospects for growth. He’ll need to convince Mark Cuban, Kevin O’Leary, Lori Greiner, Daymond John and Guest Shark Candace Nelson that the company is worthy of a Shark investment. A good business plan, good financials, and sales data will impress the Sharks, but he’ll need to show them HE is capable of running the company to “Shark standards.” A full pitch re-cap on Dingle Dangle will be available on Shark Tank Blog once this episode airs.
