Henry, David and Fletcher Pease seek an investore for Rekkie, their smart ski goggles, in Shark Tank episode 1504. Henry got the idea for the smart goggles one day while skiing. He got separated from his group and had difficulty finding them. He wanted something that could help him (and others) in that situation.
Enter Rekkie. The name is British military slang for “reconnaissance,” and that’s what these goggles do. There’s a heads up display at the top of the goggle glass that shows the wearer where their friends are. Once paired with your smart phone, the goggles also tell you the time, your speed, your altitude, a compass, battery life status, the number of unread text messages, and the proximity of friends. You can even answer your phone with them.
The brothers split responsibilities in the company. Henry designed the REKKIE app and associated technology. Fletcher heads up sales, finance, and accounting. David, is in charge of manufacturing, marketing, and operations. A pair of Rekkie goggles will set you back $349 and swappable lenses cost between $29 and $49. The guys likely want help getting into sporting goods retailers.

Rekkie Shark Tank Recap
Henry, David and Fletcher 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, Daymond John and Barbara Corcoran 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 Rekkie will be available on Shark Tank Blog once this episode airs.
