Haley McClain Hill pitches Torch, her military themed bodysuits, in Shark Tank episode 1513. Hill went to Penn State where she majored in math, enrolled in the ROTC program and she was a Penn State cheerleader. She went on to a 9 year stint in the Air Force and also, simultaneously, was a cheerleader for the San Francisco 49’ers and Atlanta Falcons.
She created the bodysuits to match the official colors worn by various branches of the military. The inspiration for Torch was the uncomfortable military tee shirts she was issued. She wanted to find something more comfortable and empowering for military women to wear. When she couldn’t find it, she made it herself! With a Tik Tok approach to marketing, she’s grown the brand to include customers all around the world.
Torch bodysuits aren’t just for women in the military. They’re for female warriors of all shapes, sizes and occupations. They come in seven military colors: coyote brown, Navy brown, Marine green, Coast Guard blue, black, white and grey. A short sleeve bodysuit costs $60 and a long sleeve bodysuit costs $75. She also sells hats and scrunchies. All products are made in the USA. Haley likely wants a Shark’s help scaling.

Torch Shark Tank Recap
Haley 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 Torch will be available on Shark Tank Blog once this episode airs.
