Misto Box Coffee Club

Misto Box on the Shark Tank

Coffee of the Month Club - season 4 - Episode 421

Inventors of the Misto Box Coffee Club
 Have you ever seen a new business that you just know it will succeed? It's not very often that a product coming to the Shark Tank is one I cannot wait to try before I even see them on the show. The Misto Box full of gourmet coffee from around the world is such a product that I'd swear was made just for me. In fact, I have already registered with Misto Box and look forward to my first cup of coffee from a roaster I very well may of never tried any other way.

The Misto Box Coffe Club was first started by two very ambitious entrepreneurs Samantha Meis and Conor Riley from Tucson, Arizona. They started with a great idea and received the needed capital to start Misto Box with a Successful Kicktarter Campaign that ended exactly one year ago today. With almost $10,000.00 raised during the campaign, they have now solidified themselves as coffee connoisseur's with a taste for unique blends found all around the world.

Liz Lovely Cookies

Liz Lovely Cookies on Shark Tank

Gourmet Cookies Season 4 Episode 403 - 9-29-2012 Update

Owners of Liz Lovely Cookies
Dan and Liz Holtz on the Shark Tank Show


 Dan and Liz Holtz are the owners of the Liz Lovely Cookies seen on the Shark Tank earlier in season 4 when they were seeking a $200,000,00 investment for a 10% stake in the gourmet cookie business. All the cookies are gluten free and vegan made only with the freshest ingredients. They use none of the traditional ingredients such as eggs, milk, butter and wheat flour.

After an entertaining presentation Kevin O'Leary asks "what are they made out of, sand"? Dan rightly so seems to take offense to his comment and replies "they are made out of a blend of rice flour and some starches but don't let that fool you". All the Sharks seem to really like this rather interesting way of making cookies

Mosche Weiss Inventor of the
Sound Bender for iPads

  What's more impressive then having a successful Kickstarter campaign to impress the Shark Tank Investors? How about complete two within 6 month's and raise at least double your goal in each campaign. That's exactly what Moshe Weiss, a rabbi from St Paul, MN.and the Inventor of the SoundBender for iPadsdid. The Sound Bender is powerless iPad accessory that amplifies the sound by several times. You simply connect the power bender to any iPad device with built-in magnet's and it bends the sound from the back and directly amplifies to the front for a dramatic increase in sound. Now why didn't Steve Job's think of that?

 Moshe Weiss has been on a crash course in the past year to bring the Sound Bender to market.

Coffee Joulies

Coffee Joulies on Shark Tank Show

Coffee Warming Beans - Season 4 - Episode 414

Two Daves on Shark Tank Show
Dave Petrillo and Dave Jackson
Inventors of the Coffee Joulies
 Coffee Joulies are jewels you add to your coffee. This is an invention, that I must say, I really like. If you have ever tried to drink coffee when it was either too hot to drink or already cold enough you are constantly needing a refill, you may also be interested in the Coffee Joulies. Getting your coffee to the exact temperature that you prefer has always been a constant problem, until now.

 The Coffee Joulies are actually replicated to look like a coffee bean that is made out of stainless steel. By adding a few coffee joulies into your hot beverage, it starts a chain reaction that is determined by how hot the temperature is. When you first pour a cup of coffee that is above 140 degrees and hot enough to burn your mouth, the Coffee Joulies (magic coffee beans) go to work and bring down the temperature to the optimal level. These beans then store the extra heat generated and will begin releasing the heat back into the coffee's temperature giving you a perfect cup of coffee over an extended period of time.

Urbio Wall Garden

Urbio on Shark Tank Show

Vertical Wall Garden - Season 4 - Episode - 414

Urban Wall Garden Inventoers
Jared Aller and Beau Oyler
Inventors of the Urbio Wall Garden

The Urbio is a "Urban Vertical Garden" which was invented by Jared Aller and Beau Oyler to solve a problem while living in an urban apartment. Having virtually no space to grow any type of garden in his close quarters, Aller decided to think outside the box and use the available space not normally considered a good growing area, his walls. A vertical indoor garden that you could easily take down your pot's at any time to water and take care of your plants. If it's going to be hanging on your wall, you of course want it to look stylish and compliment your decor. Maybe even add a few more pot's with memento's to make it the center piece of the entire room. The team solved all these problems with a simple solution found in another Successful Shark Tank Product, the ReadeRest.

Shark Tank Episode 414

Shark Tank Show Episode 414

1-11-2013

  This Fridays Shark Tank Show feature's one of the most successful inventions that has ever raised money on Kickstarter.com. In fact, episode 414 will be featuring two of the four contestant's who raised additional seed money using the Kickstarter platform. It seems to becoming a big part of the Shark Tank theme to pick successful campaign's that overwhelmingly raise more money on Kickstarter.com then their initial goals. If you need to raise fund's for your business and have been thinking of trying out for the Shark Tank Show, but have not tried to raise capital from a crowd funding site just yet, you may want to take this into consideration before applying. Keep your goal reasonable with a fair amount of certainty that you can crush those numbers which will certainly add to the credibility to your product.

Coffee Joulies


  A very good case study that will be on the Shark Tank this Friday Night is Coffee Joulies. Less then two years ago, two guy's by the name of Dave, started a simple Kick Starter Campaign to help keep your coffee warmer for a longer time. A little over a Month later their campaign ended with over $300k in start-up capital. These guy's have already proven there is a big demand for their invention which will give them a very good edge when they go into the Shark Tank. Look for more of a strategic partnership then just an investment of money coming from the Sharks. This is one product I would like to try for myself.

Shemie Update

The Shemie by Shelton Wilder

Shemie Success StoryIt's been just over a month since we saw Shelton Wilder come strolling in the Shark Tank with her invention the Shemie. When she started her pitch  I was certain she would get a deal with at least one Shark. If for anything else, for her enthusiasm towards her product and the fact that she got Lori Greiner to admit that she too would wear a Shemie. Unfortunately things got a little emotional and maybe off track as the Sharks pressured her into talking about some things she was not prepared to talk about. In the end she was not able to make a deal with the Sharks.

The Shemie

The Shemie on Shark Tank

Season 4 - Episode 407

Wilder in a shemie

 Shelton Wilder a personal stylist, was asking for $60k for a 20% stake in her company valuing it at $300k. Wilder sure knows how to make an introduction into the Shark Tank along with two other models. If you got it (the Shemie of course) then why not flaunt it. Wilder was wildly excited about showing the Sharks her new modern line of slips which she fashionably named the Shemie (pronounced "Shim-ie"). These are not your grandma's slips, no -no- no, these are much more hipper and stylish for the modern day girl.
 Wilder claims she has a verbal agreement with Nordstroms to carry her line in some of their stores. She says she has only been in business for 6 weeks? 6 weeks? How did she get on the Shark Tank so fast? Sheldon also says she has 10 stores with "soft orders". Kevin O'Leary likes Wilder and doesn't want to tear into her (imagine that, O'Leary holding back) but wants an answer as to why her 6 week old company with zero sales is already worth $300k. She tries to convince the Sharks that she is a hustler and will make the Shemie a success.

Lori Greiner senses that something is not adding up and asks again if she sold ANY Shemies at all. Wilder almost doesn't seem to want to talk about it and says "we'll I  recently sold a similar product that I worked with before. The Sharks pick up on there is more to this then meets the eye. She tells them she was in another company with her Best Friend and sold $150k in 18 months. Now that doesn't sound like no sales to me. Robert Herjevic tells her to stop and re-boot. Wilder explains they had to shut it down and she was trying to start a new business with a new brand and a similar product. Thus, no sales for The Shemie yet. From the sounds of it Shelton and her Best Friend may of been celebrating a little too much from their new business success.
Shemie now on Kickstarter
Wilder is cornered by the Sharks when she finally comes out and says that there had indeed been another similar business started by herself and a friend that eventually went bankrupt from partying too much. It starts getting a little emotional and Shelton came across very sincere. Lori congratulates her on getting started down a better path and tells her She is Going To Make It BIG. All the Sharks graciously all go out mainly because she valued her company way too high for starting all over with a brand new Brand.

No doubt Shelton Wilder will take this Shark Tank experience all the way to the bank and make The Shemie (or any project she is passionate about) into a Huge Success. She clearly has the drive and determination to Make It To The Top!

UPDATE:

Shelton Wilder has wasted no time in taking Greiners advise and has launched a Kickstarter campaign to coincide with the airing of the shark Tank Show. Not surprisingly She has already raised over $12k since last night on pre-orders for The Shemie undergarments. Wilder has set a goal of $29k to kick start her business. You can Buy A Shemie Here at her Kickstarter page and help make her dream a Reality.
