(applauding) - First of all,
I got to tell you this.
I want to say how courageous you are
going in front of the sharks.
I mean, that's a tough group.
Were you nervous?
- Yeah, I was definitely nervous
but having my siblings with me,
made me feel so much more comfortable.
- [Steve] Yeah, right.
- Like she said, it was definitely nerve-wracking.
But having us all together,
definitely made it easier.
- Yeah, so, in the clip,
you mentioned that your mom passed away
from breast cancer.
Then, your father passed away this year.
- Mmhm.
- Can you share with us what happened?
- Our dad was a New York City fireman
during the 9/11 cleanup.
And, he was diagnosed
with a 9/11 related cancer in 2015,
which was when he actually received his cutting boards.
And, the three of us just really wanted
to continue this journey
because we saw his dream really come to life.
He put so much into this dream,
and he passed away in March this year.
And three months later,
we went on Shark Tank, too.
- His dream. (applauding)
- Now, I found out through the producers
that it was your dad's dream
to take the invention on Shark Tank.
So, how did the three of you end up
pitching it on the show?
- So, our dad actually submitted an audition tape
a couple years ago to Shark Tank,
but he didn't have the sales.
And, they reached out to us
the night before our dad's one month anniversary
of passing away.
So, we just felt like that was a sign from above
that we were meant to take this.
(applauding)
- How did it go?
Did y'all get a deal?
- We got a deal with all five sharks.
(applauding)
They invested $100,000 in exchange
for a 20% equity in our business.
And all 20% goes back
to all the other firemen currently sick.
(applauding) - Wow.
Go ahead.
- There's actually 2,000 firemen
that are currently sick after the 9/11 cleanup.
So, we're really just proud of this invention
to be able to help
as much as we can. (applauding)
- A lot of those are, like, respiratory.
- Yeah, yes. - Yeah, things like that
from the cleanup.
Now, I heard about that.
Your dad did something special
on the cutting board to honor firefighters.
What was that?
- He actually incorporated the number 343
to represent the firemen
who passed away on 9/11.
(applauding)
- So, where can people get these boards?
- We're actually all sold out.
But, we were selling-- (applauding)
- [Steve] That's a good problem.
- Yes, we're working on getting
them all back up on our site.
So, we have a waiting list
where people can put their email address in,
and then, we'll send out an email
as soon as we have more product in stock.
- So, what's next for you guys?
All of you?
What's next?
- What's next is to get more Cup Board Pros.
And, our dad's dream was to have this cutting board
in every kitchen in America,
but we're dreaming a little bit bigger,
and we want it in every kitchen around the world.
(audience cheers) - That's right.
- You know what?
You all said that you couldn't have had
a better love from two people.
And, the testament to their love is
how they raised you.
I mean, they've done, like, an amazing job
of raising you guys because--
- Thank you. (applauding)
We're really lucky.
- [Steve] I mean, and then you know, like,
parents when they leave,
they're like angels, you know? - Yeah.
- My mom and dad died much later in my life, you know?
I was 40 and 43 when they passed
so I had 'em a lot longer
than you guys did, you know?
But, they become angels, man.
And this is a move, man.
'Cause right after that,
a month later, you get a call on Shark Tank,
and then, all of a sudden, five of the sharks--
(applauding) That's not coincidence.
We know you guys have been through
a very, very difficult couple of years
with losing both of your parents.
That's such a difficult thing.
So, we want to do something for you guys
because I understand
that you all struggling a little bit
'cause it's holidays coming up.
This would be the first one
where both of your parents are missing,
and so sometimes, man, you've got
to do something a little bit different.
You've got to create some new memories
because holidays can be a little dicey
when it happens to you.
So, what we're doing is,
we're sending you guys on a five-night trip
to the luxurious Moon Palace Jamaica.
(applauding) - Oh my God.
- Yeah, you're gonna experience
an all-inclusive accommodations
with world-class dining,
a chance to ride the FlowRider Double Wave Simulator,
swim with the dolphins,
and a whole lot more.
(applauding)
I've actually been there before.
The Moon-- - Thank you.
- It's a really, really nice place.
- [Kaley] That is so nice.
- Yeah, that'd be really nice.
Y'all go down there for the holidays
and then, create some whole new memories
and enjoy yourselves, man. (Keira laughs)
- Thank you. (applauding)
- [Steve] That's what it is.
You guys are off to a great start.
We wish you all the very best.
We'll be right back everybody.
(applauding)
