Shark Tank Season Finale Recap: Triumphant Military Women, 11 Year-old & Beagle
Shark Tank’s two-episode finale has Lori Greiner and Barbara Corcoran appearing, albeit separately. Nevertheless, the entrepreneurs presenting their business plans are equally interesting, especially when two military women and an 11-year old kid with his beagle close their deals to expand their budding operations. The first hour features two successful transactions led by Robert Gifford, a self-proclaimed geek who manufactures multi-purpose furniture. Geek Chic is designed to meet every geek’s need to marry hobbies and work with just one piece of furniture. Robert’s ride in the show starts shaky with Kevin O’Leary insisting that the furniture industry in America is…
Shark Tank Recap: Risky Business Plans, KaZam’s Appeal & Pink Photo Booths
Risky business plans take the spotlight in Shark Tank, the ones that most investors avoid. By far, this is the most interesting show primarily for the way the sharks quickly articulate and calculate the medium and long-term impacts of such risks. We also see a visibly irate Barbara Corcoran when Mark Cuban tries to undermine her offer, something which can be described as nothing short of sneaky and snarky. Let’s start with Erica Cohen and Lori Barbera, the owners of Baby’s Badass Burgers. Both women are currently operating a profitable gourmet burger truck business in Los Angeles. Erica and Lori’s…
Shark Tank Recap: O’Leary is Grinch with a Heart, Invests in Homeless Entrepreneur
Getting an investor for one’s enterprise isn’t as easy as it seems on TV and Shark Tank proves this again tonight. Take the case of Michael Desanti, the owner of Squirrel Boss. Michael’s product is designed to electrocute squirrels and serves as an alternative to exterminating them. The problems arising in his case are the following: manufacturing his product is currently expensive, he’s lost a lot from his sixty-thousand dollar investment on traditional marketing and has been denied of a patent. Michael has a very funny personality but the cheer doesn’t extend to his product, especially since a 130-thousand dollar…
Shark Tank Recap: Daymond John Shocks Sharks for Supporting Gobie H2O
Sparks fly in the first ten minutes of Shark Tank as Kevin O’Leary and Robert Herjavec show the viewers the difference between cautious and aggressive business decision making. They get in their element with entrepreneurs Taylor and Jason who wish to have a slice in the cooler market. Liddup is a patented cooler with LED lights that turn on each time the cover is lifted up, allowing its user to see the contents even without flashlight or torch. The owners are currently looking for an investor who could help them contact the three major cooler manufacturers. Robert offers an opening…
Shark Tank Recap: Daymond John’s Astonishing Investment on Cowboy Ryan
Shark Tank is back with Lori Greiner joining Mark Cuban, Robert Herjaveck, Kevin O’Leary and Daymond John. The first to face the group are Heather Monteith and Andy Hurwitz. The two own Baby Loves Disco, a company that provides mobile disco services for children. The self-proclaimed “next hot thing in dance clubs” promotes kiddie parties that heavily rely on its broad network of mothers. The business has grossed about $2million dollars over the past seven years, largely due to word of mouth and social media. This year, the owners are projecting $525,000 in revenues; however, $425,000 of such is from…
