Berlyn Haughton seeks a Shark for The Table Tyke, her “revolutionary” silicon placemat for kids, in Shark Tank episode 1514. She started the business in October, 2020 and had immediate viral impact: her Tik Tok video of the product got 300,000 views in one day. This propelled her into the spotlight and the Shark Tank producers’ radar.
Table Tyke was inspired by her child sucking on a table’s edge at a restaurant. She wanted something she could take on the go as well as at home that would limit spills and provide protection for the kid from sucking on the table edge. The placemat is food grade silicon and its bumper provides a safer surface for kids to suck on. It’s also great for arts and crafts.
Her husband came up with the name. The product comes in grey, green, pink and blue and costs $24.99. There’s also an “XL” version for $34.99. They can be found on the company website and Amazon. Berlyn likely wants a Shark’s help getting into retail.

The Table Tyke Shark Tank Recap
Berlyn 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, 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 she’ll need to show them SHE is capable of running the company to “Shark standards.” A full pitch re-cap on The Table Tyke will be available on Shark Tank Blog once this episode airs.
