Shark Tank has been a breeding ground for innovation and entrepreneurship, launching many products from obscurity to mainstream success. It provides a platform for business owners to present their innovative concepts to a group of experienced investors. These ten products gained massive popularity and success after their appearance on the show.
Scrub Daddy
Inventor Aaron Krause introduced the world to Scrub Daddy, a smiling sponge with a unique texture that changes based on water temperature. This simple yet effective kitchen tool caught the eye of investor Lori Greiner, who saw its potential. Now, the product is a household name, with sales soaring into the millions.
Squatty Potty
Who would have thought a toilet stool could become a cultural phenomenon? Squatty Potty defied expectations by generating over $30 million in sales, showcasing the power of addressing niche markets with innovative solutions. Moreover, it sparked conversations about digestive health and turned a taboo topic into a mainstream product.
Bombas
Bombas took a simple product—socks—and turned it into a philanthropic powerhouse. Founders David Heath and Randy Goldberg combined high-quality, comfortable socks with a charitable mission: for every pair sold, a pair is donated. After its appearance on Shark Tank, Bombas has grown into a thriving company.
Tipsy Elves
Even today, Tipsy Elves remains a Shark Tank favorite, especially after Robert Herjavec’s $100,000 investment in 2013. The brand earned $1 million within two years with its fun holiday apparel. Tipsy Elves is the top choice for holiday-themed clothing like sweaters, socks, and onesies.
Simply Fit Board
A colorful, curved board designed for low-impact workouts appealed to health-conscious individuals seeking easy and fun ways to stay fit. Fortunately, due to the backing of Lori Greiner, Simply Fit Board saw its sales skyrocket, especially after a TV feature led to widespread recognition and adoption among fitness enthusiasts.
The Bouqs Company
This online flower bouquet retailer didn’t receive any offers during its Season 5 pitch in May 2014. However, Robert Herjavec later became a backer. After visiting the company and understanding its business, Herjavec expressed his enthusiasm and participated in its last funding round, which raised $24 million.
The Comfy
Dubbed as “the blanket you wear,” The Comfy took comfort to a new level. Brothers Michael Speciale and Brian Speciale designed a wearable blanket with sleeves and a hood, perfect for cozy lounging. Barbara Corcoran saw potential in it, and her investment propelled The Comfy to remarkable success.
Lovepop
Lovepop redefined the greeting card industry with intricately designed 3D pop-up cards. Following their television stint, they introduced 300 unique designs in 950 stores nationwide and formed promotional partnerships with other brands. The company has also broadened its offerings, including flower bouquets, gift tags, calendars, and bracelets.
Ring
It was initially named Doorbot, an intelligent doorbell system allowing homeowners to monitor their front doors from anywhere. Although the sharks passed on the opportunity, founder Jamie Siminoff didn’t give up. His persistence paid off when Amazon acquired it for a staggering $1 billion.
Safe Grabs
How often have you burned your skin while taking something out of the microwave? The founder of Safe Grabs, an 8-in-1 silicone mat, wanted to solve this issue. Despite being rejected twice in auditions, it appeared on Shark Tank after the third attempt. Safe Grabs earned $5 million just three years after appearing on the show.
