About Shark Tank
The Sharks are looking for the best products and businesses America has to offer. Hopeful entrepreneurs come to the Shark Tank seeking an investment to start, grow or save their businesses. If the Sharks hear a great idea, they’re ready to invest using their own money. And they’ll fight each other for a piece of the action. But first, the entrepreneur must convince a shark to invest the full amount they are asking for.
This Emmy Award-winning show has been the launching pad for some of the greatest products ever sold. The Sharks, Mark Cuban, Kevin O’Leary, Barbara Corcoran, Daymond John, Lori Greiner and Robert Herjavec (along with other celebrity guest sharks) have made deals with - or passed on - some amazing brands: The Squatty Potty, Simply Fit Board, Bombas Socks, The Ring Doorbell, Scrub Daddy and The Original Comfy - to name just a few.
Shark Tank celebrates entrepreneurs.

His voice also got so much deeper it caught me off guard 😭😂

[@nancyfisalli8295]

Haha me too!!!

[@TrueLeeYoung]

It seemed to change twice towards the end. Maybe they came back 2 different times to follow up

[@Old-Boy_BEbop]

props to the dad, he made the greatest investment... raising his kid to understand the value of money and how to be an entrepreneur. a father all sons should have.

[@smilebehappyworld5064]

He owes his success to his dad for fully believing in him!

[@mic300391]

5:05 that's success right there.

[@gonzalocampos8590]

yeah, what was that?

Those final two girls know where the money’s at lmao

I mean they easily could be his sisters/cousins lol.

Why are broke, bitter males always making these comments? And since when are people not supposed to like money?

[@ZevMeth_originaljewishmusic]

Can't say I understand the product, but I can see his tenacity, grit, and drive and belief in the product, so I'm not surprised it did well!

[@markkelly9484]

Partially used paint tins rust, degrade etc. This is to keep it airtight and like new for 10 years. Great for touchups etc. It's very clever.

[@jasongrill4628]

Thanks for this clip CNBC. It was an absolute blast being on Shark Tank with Carson! He is an amazing young man with a bright future.

[@NiX_aKi]

This kid is definitely getting all the chicks when he goes to college. Hahaha

Bro hit puberty 😂😭

That was funny him showing those girls his clipboard 😂

[@BillyGirlardo]

Congrats Blake, best wishes!

[@KHN-nm6ru]

This kid is brilliant 👏

[@dlross173]

Daymond is all about branding. That's crazy to turn him down, especially because he offered more money for less of a share. Also, it's nuts that kid's voice is so deep. Man.... they grow so quickly at that age! I think a lot of people underestimate Daymond. If I ever get on that show, I'm going to pick him. He's got one of the most successful investments on Shark Tank, and he knows how to hustle in the streets!

[@adedaremayowa1347]

Wow 😮

[@paulvk2539]

awesome kid

[@sonia354]

Bordering on precocious- but Good for him for being polite.

[@tethron.]

Nice congrats guys!

[@taranote]

Stop copying Mark lol

[@nevillecreativitymentor]

Not without a Dad or Mom backing you ... Kudos to all that you guys have acheived.

[@kidmoneyondatrack1051]

Daymonds Offer Was Simply superior due to the percentage.

[@odysseusnissan]

I wouldn't say simply superior because obviously the kid thought he knew something we don't. But I agree they should've went with Daymond for such lower percentage.

So is it the same as putting a marble in an empty jam jar?

Good stuff tho 🛫🛫🛫

[@fr00tloops]

Its main appeal is to the blue collar, king of the hill type of consumer. Its patented, so it cant be easily replicated, and they have the biggest foot in the door. The USA is probably the biggest buyer of this kinds of products, since Americans typically focus on their homes much more than other nationalities, therefore they dont even really need to expand into the EU or Australia. They're going to be set when a larger company acquires them and they walk away with tens of millions of dollars in the aftermath.

[@felixvelo]

Kudos to their success, but this proves that people will buy anything. It is not that significant of a product, but if enough people think it has perceived value then guess what, you're going to make money. "Put that plastic cup with a lid on the card honey."

[@courtnaypower4808]

That seems like a good idea

[@sandall7k]

This kid should have classes for other kids in his age or older for educating them about entrepreneurship and value of money and how to chase your dreams

[@sircapalot7447]

What makes you think he can teach

[@jasongrill4628]

We do actually teach some college classes!

[@merrymanson]

4:43 Wtf happened to Blake, he looks like he haven't slept in a month 😂😂😂😂

[@oluwaseunadefolarin7316]

Because he hasn't

[@zebehne]

So weird that he turned Daymond down when he offered the same amount for less equity and he would have been right for the product.

[@rohitsharma1534]

why didnt he take daymonds offer

[@JScars8]

this is a shortened clip Daymonds offer actually changed I believe

[@anthonymcvey3050]

He’s black

wait what?

I bet the kid lives alone without parents haha

Daymond just got destroyed. That's the outcome of being a diversity hire.
