Episode 717

By Rob Merlino

It’s a “Sharkette” Tank episode of Shark Tank when episode 717 airs as Barbara and Lori are together on the panel. Four new businesses compete for the Sharks’ attention, advice, and cash. Michael Ingle hopes for a clean sweep with Clean Sleep, his mobile mattress cleaning business that he wants to expand through franchising. 16 year old Benjamin Stern sells the Sharks on his solution to plastic waste: NOHBO Balls. Benjamin places shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and other personal care items in a single use, water-soluble ball. Wharton MBA graduates Ben Young and Greg Coleman seek funding for SworkIt, one of the top personal fitness apps on the market today. Former soap opera villain, actress Sarah Buxton, pitches the Sharks on TutuBlue, her line of “long beachwear” designed to block the sun.

Which business catches a Shark tonight?

Lori and Robert invested $200K for 25% of Signal Vault in the season seven premier. In the update segment, we’ll get a glimpse of the HUGE sales entrepreneur Chris Gilpin made since partnering with the two Sharks.

There are 28 Shark Tank Episodes for Season 7. This season features two new Sharks and a host of other surprises. Casting is currently closed, but it never hurts to get a head start on season eight! If you would like to appear on the show, check out our Auditions and Casting information.

Episode 717 – The Shark Investors and Entrepreneurs

The Shark Tank Episode 717 entrepreneurs will make their best pitch to the panel of five Shark investors who will use their own money if they choose to invest. The Shark Investors negotiate on the spot without any previous information, which differs from typical negotiations between venture capital investors and entrepreneurial start-ups.

Companies pitching the Shark Investors must go through a rigorous due diligence process before an on-air deal is completed. Shark Tank Blog follow ups help you keep track of the companies that end up successful and the ones that don’t complete their deal.
