Ali Kaminetsky hopes to hook a Shark with Modern Picnic, her stylish lunchboxes designed to look like a purse, in Shark Tank episode 1513. After Ali graduated from Lehigh University (where she was a division 1 tennis player), she got a job as a buyer at Macy’s in New York City. New York is an expensive place to live, so she frequently brought her own lunch and snacks to work. Ali wanted a lunchbox that was a little more stylish and functional than what was out there, so she designed her own.
In 2018, she launched Modern Picnic and she hasn’t looked back. The best selling Large Luncher features enough space for 2 meals and drinks and has a wipeable interior in case of accidental spills. Her Tote model features separate compartments for a laptop and lunch. Women love the lunchboxes.
In addition to her website, Ali has her products in The Container Store and on Amazon. The lunchboxes range in price from $59 for the Small Luncher to $250 for the Tote. Ali also sells airtight, reusable containers designed to fit in the bags. She’s likely looking for a Shark to help her manage growth.

Modern Picnic Shark Tank Recap
Ali will pitch the panel of five Sharks on the business and its prospects for growth. She’ll need to convince Mark Cuban, Kevin O’Leary, Lori Greiner, Emma Grede 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 she’ll need to show them SHE is capable of running the company to “Shark standards.” A full pitch re-cap on Modern Picnic will be available on Shark Tank Blog once this episode airs.
