Entrepreneur Michael Quinn hopes his new spin on shining shoes gets the Sharks shining for a deal. His Buffer Bit is a shoe buffing pad that attaches to a regular household hand drill. Tim Talley, creator of U-Lace, a “modular shoe lace” product wants to go beyond bootstrapping his business with an investment from a Shark. Kent Frankovich, a Stanford grad and mechanical engineer, pitches his RevoLights bicycle safety lights that turn bike wheels into headlights and brake signals. “Parentrepreneurs” Ivan Barnes and Lisa Evans pitch their line of baby clothes that have squeakers in the knees to help parents locate their little ones.

Episode 521 – The Shark Investors and Entrepreneurs
The Shark Tank Episode 521 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.
