hello everyone hope your day is doing just fine today welcome to the Film Insight channel
in today's dope video we're going to discuss some Shark Tank products now they were then versus now
so sit back relax and without further ado let's get straight into the content guys licky brush
a product named licky brush revealed itself to the world in a kickstarter campaign by the omarez
which raised over 170 thousand dollars dub is the product that will improve your relationship with
your cat while enhancing your cat's lifestyle it was going to make its appearance in the eighth
season of the show tara and jason omar's pitch in the tank was instantly met with hysterical
laughter since the demonstration was admittedly humorous as jason holds on securely to their cat
chestnut tara places the tongue shaped brush into her mouth and starts licking up the cat's fur
arguably the best moment in this episode is when kevin o'leary straight up told them that their cat
was now psychologically disturbed since the pair gave their business a 2 million evaluation it was
rather difficult for any of the sharks to invest not being able to look past this poor evaluation
very quickly the panelists began to drop out one after the other leaving the couple with no deal
however they did somehow manage to convince robert herjavec to try this ridiculous product which is
something that the other sharks look back on and clown on him for today even without the coveted
shark tank deal their company pdx pet design is still up and running although it seems like
the owners have somewhat put it to the side since they're still working full-time jobs in addition
to the company all the products are still for sale though each year they attend something called
catcon where they sell a lot of their products and talk to potential customers if you're interested
they still are active on all social medias like instagram twitter and facebook where they post a
lot of cute cat content the original comfy after a recent divorce a man named michael special was
living with his brother brian whose home was the birthplace of his idea for the original comfy
he noticed that his nephew was chilling on the couch wearing his father's oversized sweater which
was covering his knees and arms tucked in for warmth and comfort inspired by how nice and cozy
it looked him and his brother began discussing how they could make an adult version of this using a
sherpa blanket as an inspiration for the material with an oversized sweatshirt or blanket in mind
the original comfy was born being debuted in the ninth season of the show the special brothers
came asking for fifty thousand dollars in exchange for twenty percent of their company they do start
off strong with a nice little song as they wrap themselves in the large and uber soft wearable
blanket following this nice little display they mentioned that the blanket was designed to keep
people warm in the coldest of conditions it has complete coverage has a hood that can be used
as a pillow and is one size fits all though the sharks were not particularly impressed with the
fact that the brothers have not made really any official sales some of the investors dropped out
for this reason though they did have three sharks who expressed interest in them and their story
finally settling on a deal with barbara corcoran they received the full fifty thousand dollars but
for thirty percent of the company instead soon after they appeared on the tank the original
comfy was an instant success someone showed that they even released different sequel products like
the comfy feet comfy kids and comfy hoodie blowing up on social media it managed to get orders from
over 70 countries which is beyond impressive with barbara's help they are now being sold on qvc bed
bath and beyond as well as amazon still getting tons of sales to this day kodiak cakes several
years ago back in the fifth season of the show the founders of kodiak cakes walked into the tank to
pitch their product they've been building for a while it was essentially a cake mix based on a
family recipe that used all whole grains which at the time was unlike many competitors on the market
being a small family-owned business dating back to 1982 allowed them to stay competitive and continue
achieving success they may very well be making products for people across the country but they
treat it with quality and care as if they were selling to neighbors which is admirable joel
clark and cameron smith the owners really wowed the sharks with their meticulously executed pitch
the pair started by describing the backstory of their company and how they believe their cake mix
would be an incredibly competitive product even a household name seeking 500 000 for a 10 sake in
their company you can say that their evaluation was incredibly high such a thought was brought
up by not only kevin but robert and barbara who made offers with heavily increased equity demands
not entirely interested in giving more than 10 percent the business partners leave the tank
without a deal to this day even after their failed appearance in the tank they received a major boost
from the exposure doubling their sales within a year you can see how successful this product is
yourself by taking a trip to the supermarket and going into the pancake aisle where you'll almost
be guaranteed to see kodiak cakes it's a good product and keeps people coming back for more
especially since one of the special ingredients is added protein which is appealing to many
naturally though the business has somewhat reached a bit of a plateau but it's more successful than
before the shark tank feature phone soap horrified by the idea that there's so much harmful bacteria
on the average cell phone 18 times the average amount found in public restrooms in fact inventor
wes lapoche had to do something after some testing he found trace amounts of fecal matter and other
potential hazards which is the moment he decided to put his brains into making the phone soap it
was basically a machine that would use ultraviolet light technology to completely sanitize your phone
it would also include charging capabilities in this device launching it first on kickstarter
laporte was hoping to raise over 18 thousand dollars to fund this project but actually got
63 000 instead from 1200 backers confident that their product would do well they decided to get
a spot on the tank to get some extra help from the sharks asking for a whopping 300 000 in exchange
for a measly 7.5 of the company they went into discussing how urgently people needed to clean
their phones a valid question that was asked by an unimpressed mark cuban was why they couldn't
just use sanitizer to clean the phone they just answered that it could damage the phone however
this answer wouldn't matter when lapis business partner would reveal that in the first five months
of selling their product they made 537 thousand dollars in sales this blew many of the sharks away
we're not expecting it to be such a successful product with potential even with the extremely
nice numbers being presented more equity was going to be needed on the table for there to be a deal
lord grenier offered 10 and before she could even finish her sentence the two men accepted instantly
today phone soap has been doing incredibly well in qvc boosting its sales from 530 000
to 5 million in 12 months their product is being sold in over 1500 bed bath and beyonds
and came out in recent years with an extra large version for tablets
the sleep styler while working on styling her daughter's hair tyra brown came up with the idea
for the sleep styler which would eventually be featured on shark tank it was a product that was
invented with the idea of reducing the time needed to curl or straighten your hair significantly
by making it automatic to achieve this the user simply wraps their hair in the product while they
sleep and they'll wake up with dried and stylish hair making their morning routine even faster
putting a hundred thousand dollars of her own money into this product alone and putting
herself in debt she was going to need the help of the sharks to bring this to the next level
finally getting the chance to show off her new invention to the most famous investors in the game
she was asking for 75 000 in exchange for twenty percent of her business brown kicks off the whole
presentation with a demonstration video and then shows the panelists live results on her own hair
though how are the numbers for this interesting product well after starting a kickstarter she
reached our goal in the first 24 hours of launching being 10 000 and received
47 000 by the end of it impressing everyone she specifically caught the attention of roberts and
laurie who thought the idea was ingenious first being offered the full amount for 30
of the company by laurie after some negotiation she was able to get laurie to agree to 25
after brown's visit to the tank her product was obviously featured on qvc since that is exactly
what lori is known for her product took off as expected but you won't believe the amount of money
she made in the span of six months jumping from only having five thousand dollars in sales her
product made a hundred million dollars which never fails to make my jaw drop how inspiring love pop
love pop had a mission to disrupt the seven billion dollar greeting card industry with
their unique 3d pop-up greeting cards founded by juan b rose and john wise their company uses
the asian art of sliceworm kirigami to create beautifully complex cards coming into the tank
looking for help to grow their business and open the door to new retail outlets
they asked for 300 thousand dollars in exchange for 10 of the business catching the interest of
kevin o'leary who thought it would be the perfect fit for his wedding businesses he made an offer
though robert was also interesting butting in and offering the full amount but for 20 instead of the
10 they asked for still not wanting to give away more than they initially asked for they counted
the offers with 10 robert comes back to offer 15 and very soon kevin quickly matches this
after some discussion rose and why settle on picking kevin who seemed very happy to get
in on this now even if they had an impressive 300 thousand dollars in sales before the tank
that was tripled to a million in sales and even more to date well that will be all for
