Ken and Allyson Davidov hope to get a lift for Liftid, their electric neuro stimulation device, in  Shark Tank Season 12 Episode 5. Ken has been in the import and product development business for over thirty years. Allyson is a Realtor and helps Ken with marketing.

Ken works with inventor Dr. Theodore H. Schwartz, MD, in getting Liftid to market. Schwartz is a very well-credentialed neurosurgeon who created the product to help improve focus, attention and alertness.

Liftid is a headband with electrodes. It uses a small electric current, called Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation, to stimulate certain areas of the brain. It acts as a substitute for chemical stimulants like caffeine, sugar, or drugs. Over 4000 medical studies show that this method “alters brain function by increasing blood flow, enhancing neurotransmitter release, and activating neurons.”

The product itself looks like a virtual reality headset without the goggles. It should be used for just 20 minutes a day and no more. A single unit costs $149.  Davidov helped Dr. Schwartz bring the product to fruition with the help of  Gadgetflow, which got it noticed worldwide and accelerated sales. Now, he wants a Shark’s help taking it to the masses.

LIFTiD Shark Tank Pitch

Ken and Allyson enter the Shark Tank seeking $200,000 for 10% of their business. Ken is wearing the device. They tell their story and explain how the product works. They say they have a smarter way to get an energy boost. When the pitch is over, they invite the Sharks to try the product, and they instruct them on how to use it.

The Sharks appear to like it, but Robert says he isn’t getting a coffee boost. Mark reads the warnings on the box. It states, “There is no medical benefit. Ken says it’s for cognitive benefit. They sold 1240 units. Landed, they cost $22, and they sell for $149.00.

Did LIFTiD Get a Deal on Shark Tank?

Lori says she doesn’t invest in products that make claims; she’s out. Robert thought it was a horrific presentation; he’s out. Daniel cannot connect to the product; he’s out.

Kevin says he has a headache, which is in the lexicon of the craziest pitches on Shark Tank; he’s out. Mark says he tried to sell science without using science; he’s out.
