Siblings and “snacktrepreneurs” Steve Atieh, Allison Lin and Kevin Atieh seek an investment in Like Air, their healthy popcorn puffs, in Shark Tank episode 1514. They started the company in 2020 to create healthy snacks. Unlike regular popcorn, their “puffcorn” has no kernels or hulls in it – just the puffy part.
The company has come a long way in just a few years. Like Air is available nationally at Kroger, Meijer, HEB, ShopRite, Stop & Shop, Giant, Wegmans and Amazon. All their snacks are gluten-free, nut-free, made with non-GMO corn and have no artificial ingredients. At 50 calories per cup, Like Air has half the calories of popcorn.
They come in three flavors: Butter and Salt, Cheddar and Pancake (yes pancake). 2 4 ounce bags will set you back $12.99 from the company website. They’re only $3.98 a bag at Kroger. Amazon has a 3 pack – 1 of each flavor – for $19.95. They likely want a Shark to take the business to the next level and get it ready for acquisition.
****edotor’s note: I tried the Cheddar flavor and it was yummy. I will buy again!

Like Air Shark Tank Recap
Steve, Allison and Kevin will pitch the panel of five Sharks on the business and its prospects for growth. They’ll need to convince Mark Cuban, Kevin O’Leary, Lori Greiner, Barbara Corcoran and Robert Herjavec that the company is worthy of a Shark investment. A good business plan, good financials, and sales data will impress the Sharks, but they’ll need to show them THEY are capable of running the company to “Shark standards.” A full pitch re-cap on Like Air will be available on Shark Tank Blog once this episode airs.
