🍕 Pizza Storage Hack

Hey!

It’s been a while since you’ve heard from me… Sorry about that. But I’m back and ready to make this the best Shark Tank newsletter on the internet!

I thought it would be fun to go back through the old seasons and give you quick updates on what’s happened since they aired on the show.

Today, we are looking at the companies from Season 14 Episode 1.

• Kent

• Oggiebear

• Pizza Pack

This was the live audience episode, so there were only 3 companies instead of 4.

Be sure to scroll to the end and vote on the poll!

Let’s get it!

🩲 Kent

Remember Kent? The eco-friendly underwear brand made from 100% compostable materials? Founders Stacy and Jeff Grace stepped into the Tank in Season 14 looking for $200K for 5% of their sustainable fashion business.

With comfy basics made from organic cotton and a mission to reduce landfill waste, they caught the Sharks' attention and received multiple offers. Ultimately, they struck a deal with Daymond John, who sealed a deal at $200K for 15% after some back-and-forth.

Since airing, Kent has been on a roll. They closed the deal with Daymond, launched new products like men’s underwear and T-shirts, and landed a retail partnership with Nordstrom. The exposure helped fuel a 200% jump in sales, and the brand has continued to grow ever since. Not bad for a pair of planet-saving undies!

👃 Oogiebear

Sina and Nina Farzin walked into the Tank with a baby product that solves a big problem for parents: Congested noses. Their brand, Oogiebear, offers a soft, bear-shaped tool designed to safely clear nasal blockages and help infants breathe easier.

With over $15 million in lifetime sales and a patented design, the couple asked for $400K for 5% equity. After a lively round of offers, they struck a deal with Barbara Corcoran and Robert Herjavec for $600K in exchange for 10%.

Since airing, Oogiebear has seen major growth. The deal closed, and the brand expanded into big-name retailers like Walmart, Target, and Nordstrom. They’ve also broadened their product line with teething toothbrushes, chest rub, and more. All aimed at making baby care easier for parents.

With $5.4 million of reported revenue in 2022, Oogiebear is proving to be a breath of fresh air in the parenting space.

🍕 Pizza Pack

Tate Koenig returned to the Tank in Season 14 with a smart fix for a familiar problem: leftover pizza taking up too much fridge space. His solution? Pizza Pack, a collapsible, airtight container shaped perfectly to store and reheat slices.

With strong sales, great margins, and a fun design, Tate asked for $100K for 10% equity. After fielding multiple offers, including one from Mark Cuban to buy the whole business, he struck a deal with Lori Greiner for $100K for 13%.

Since the show, Pizza Pack has taken off. The deal with Lori closed, and the company quickly sold over 22,000 units thanks to the Shark Tank bump. Pizza Pack expanded into major retailers like Amazon and Walmart and now sells around 2,000 units a month on Amazon alone, bringing in about $600,000 a year.

They’ve also added pizza-themed merch and brought back Tate’s original product, The Cheese Chopper. Looks like Pizza Pack is here to stay.
