Shark Tank Season 17 Episode 14 – The Shark Investors and Entrepreneurs
Season 17, Episode 14 was about founders trying to solve problems that people face every day. These founders did things differently. Some of them used science to back up their claims. Others focused on making their brand look good and telling a story. Then there were the ones who really care about making a difference with their ideas.
The Sharks asked questions about execution, scalability, and clarity of numbers. This led to detailed negotiations, especially where strong sales meet bold valuations.
1. REMplenish

REMplenish, founded by Anders Olmanson, had an interesting approach to helping people sleep better. It did this by strengthening the muscles in the airway. Anders Olmanson got this idea from research on the didgeridoo.
He created a device called the Myo-Nozzle that makes it easy for people to use this every day.
Shark Tank Pitch
Anders got into the Tank. He wanted $400,000 for 4% of his company. The Sharks tried the product, and some had trouble using it. Kevin O’Leary wondered if it was really useful. Robert Herjavec does not like how it feels.
Anders was very confident as he talked about the science behind the product and how easy it is to use.
Then the conversation changes when Anders talks about how much money his company has made. He said his company made $450,000 in 2022. In 2023, it made $1.1 million, and in 2024, $3.9 million. This year, he thought it would make $8-10 million. The Sharks started to see things because the company is growing so fast, mostly thanks to ads on Meta.

Kevin O’Leary was the one to make an offer. He said he would give $400,000 for 10% of the company. He thought the company would sell many products. Robert Herjavec liked the company. He did not think 10% is enough. So he decided not to invest.
Lori Greiner thought the product was interesting. She was not sure if the company was ready yet. She wanted to see proof that the product works. So she stepped out.
Then, Daniel Lubetzky joined Kevin O’Leary. Daniel talked about his experience with insomnia. He has had trouble sleeping all his life. Kevin and Daniel offered $400,000 for 15% equity in the company.
Anders did not agree with this offer. He thought the company was worth more than that. He said he would only give $400,000 for 8% of the company. Kevin and Daniel tried to negotiate. They said they would take 12%. Anders said no.
Fawn Weaver really understands the problem the company is trying to solve. She would rather not invest right now. Instead, she wants to try the product herself.
Finally, Anders agreed to give Kevin O’Leary and Daniel Lubetzky $400,000 for 10% of the company.
2. Beer Girl

Caroline was behind Beer Girl, a brand that believed traditional beer had not paid enough attention to women who drink it.
The Beer Girl product was a lager with lower gluten and made with corn. It also had alcohol and no sugar, so Beer Girl is a lighter choice for people who want to drink beer.
Shark Tank Pitch
She walked in asking for $125,000 in exchange for 10% of her company. The sharks really liked the taste of her beer.
They immediately started talking about how hard it is to succeed in the beer business. Caroline told them that her brand started selling beer in the summer of 2023 and made $140,000 that year. The year she sold about the same amount, between $140,000 and $160,000.
Caroline thought that she could make $1.1 million this year by starting to sell her beer in stores.

| Sharks Who Invested | Fawn Weaver |
The conversation got really heated when Fawn Weaver started talking about the beverage industry. She explained how most companies fail. Fawn Weaver asked Caroline to tell her what really makes her product special beyond the advertising.
Caroline told her story, including how her family has a brewery and how she switched from music to business during the pandemic. She also talked about being very hands-on, handling logistics and deliveries with her husband.
Kevin O’Leary said that doing well in the beer business is about having a good brand and a good story, but he did not think Caroline’s product was different enough, so he decided to leave. Robert Herjavec and Daniel Lubetzky also decided to leave, saying the industry is just too tough.
Fawn Weaver, on the other hand, thought Caroline’s product had potential and offered her $125,000 for 20% of the company, calling it a “Sharky” deal. Caroline tried to negotiate, asking for a $500,000 line of credit. Fawn Weaver said no to that.
Lori Greiner showed some interest. Then she decided not to do it, which means Fawn Weaver can move forward on her own. Caroline decided to take the deal, $125,000 for 20% of the company, because she knew Fawn Weaver could bring a lot of value to the table.
3. GOB

Lauryn Menard pitched GOB, a sustainable earplug made from mycelium. The product looked to reduce the environmental waste caused by billions of disposable foam earplugs.
Shark Tank Pitch
Lauryn asked for $250,000 in exchange for 5%, placing a $5 million valuation on the company. She said the product has been on the market for only two months but has already made $40,000 in organic sales.

| Deal Status | No Deal |
The sharks thought the material and concept were interesting. They started to worry about how well the product works. Fawn Weaver and Lori Greiner said that good earplugs should block out all sound, but the GOB earplugs let some sound in, which makes them less useful.
Lauryn said her earplugs are not meant to block out all sound. They were meant to improve sound quality so people can use them at concerts and other loud venues. She also talked about a major partnership with a live show company, which could be profitable.
But Kevin O’Leary thought the $5 million price was too high. He said people will buy things for less money. Robert Herjavec agreed with Kevin.
Each Shark decided not to invest in the GOB earplugs, even though the product is already doing well.
4. Never Have I Ever

Susana introduced Never Have I Ever, a line of artist-designed press-on nails. The concept brought creativity, turning nails into wearable art.
Shark Tank Pitch
She wanted $150,000 in return for 8% of her company. Her presentation caught the sharks’ attention. Things got more intense when they started going over the numbers.
Susana shared that her business has made $900,000 in sales so far. A big chunk of that $400,000 came in last year. She also mentioned that she has $600,000 in accounts that are owed to her, which made the Sharks wonder about her cash flow and how she manages her finances.

Daniel Lubetzky was the one to walk away first. He said he did not understand the money part of the business. Kevin O’Leary liked the idea. He did not think the business was set up right, so he stepped out for now. Fawn Weaver also left because this kind of business is not what she usually does.
Lori Greiner decided not to invest. Robert Herjavec offered her $150,000 for 25% equity in her company.
Then Kevin O’Leary came back, saying he would give Susana $150,000 for 10% of the company. He also wanted $0.50 for every item she sells until he gets $450,000 back. Susana said yes to Kevin O’Leary’s deal.
Special Segment
The episode also featured an update from Coco and Mafe Cabezas, who previously secured a deal with Daniel Lubetzky in Shark Tank Season 15, Episode 3. Their frozen arepas brand was then called Kiosco.
Coco and Mafe Cabezas shared that Kiosco grew from $200,000 in sales before they went on Shark Tank to $2.3 million after they made the deal with Daniel Lubetzky.
Kiosco was now in many stores. It used to be in 600 stores, and now it has expanded to 1,500 locations, including some big retailers. Daniel Lubetzky helped Coco and Mafe Cabezas change branding and messaging, which really helped Kiosco grow.
