Shark Tank preview: Pandaloon, ZUP, Alice’s Table, Boobie Bar, & AquaVault
Like we often do at CarterMatt, let’s start off this article with a synopsis before handing down some more information about the products featured tonight:
An entrepreneur from Brookline, Massachusetts, empowers women to create a community that prioritizes living well, working hard and encouraging women to build businesses of their own with her idea; a trio of entrepreneurs from Williamsburg, Virginia, pitch the sharks a fresh, new way to ease people into water sports with their all-in-one invention; a registered nurse turned entrepreneur from Carlsbad, California, helps breastfeeding moms find a healthy and convenient way to increase their milk supply with her delicious food item; a panda-loving entrepreneur from Burbank, California, hopes to make panda lovers out of the Sharks when she presents her animal-themed pet apparel company, on “Shark Tank,” SUNDAY, JAN. 14(10:00-11:00 p.m. EST), on The ABC Television Network, streaming and on demand.
Pandaloon – Basically, it’s a line of clothing, accessories, and even pet outfits designed to look like pandas — the company also gives back to panda conservation. While we’re not sure we could pull off ANYTHING when it comes to panda-related articles of clothing, we like the idea behind the company. For starters, everyone loves pandas. Also,
ZUP – This is a very smart product line designed with one simple purpose: Making aspiring water-sports enthusiasts feel more comfortable being behind a boat and giving it a go. As someone who has certainly had plenty of fears being in that position in the past, we do think that this is a smart product and an interesting way to get people to take a chance at something that could be fun.
Alice’s Table – The entire basis of this company seems to be figuring out a way for women to build their own successful business, often within the floral industry. It’s based on leadership, empowerment, and teaching — it’s a little bit more of an abstract idea than your average Shark Tank business but the mission at the center of the company is smart: Helping women find success in ways that give them a sense of creativity and confidence.
Boobie Bar – These products (which certainly have a buzz-worthy name) are designed with the purpose of facilitating breastfeeding and creating a healthy environment both for mothers and their babies. Given how wide this potential audience is, there’s a great incentive for Sharks to give this a look.
