Caroline Matthes and Rose Fierman hope to lightt up the Shark Tank with Poplight, their battery powered wall light, in Shark Tank episode 1514. The pair moved into an old house and wanted lighting on either side of their bed, but they didn’t want to go the route of hiring an electrician. They envisioned a battery powered light that could just stick onto the wall. Three years later, they had a prototype.
They got things started with a successful Kickstarter campaign that raised $162,498 back in March, 2023. As of the original air date, they hadn’t shipped any lights to their backers and the lights are available for pre-order on their website. They are promising to ship all orders by May, 2024. Renters like the idea of these lights because you can add custom lighting just about anywhere without major construction. The lights are battery powered and and fasten to any wall with double sided sticky tape.
As for the lights themselves, they cost $95 and come in six colors: white, yellow, pink, black, green and red. Replacement battery packs cost $24. Since they haven’t shipped any products, they likely want a Shark’s help navigating overseas manufacturing.

Poplight Shark Tank Recap
Caroline and Rose 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 Poplight will be available on Shark Tank Blog once this episode airs.
