The Sharks Couldn't Score With Spikeball | Shark Tank MISSES | CNBC Prime

Spikeball is a sport all its own. A deal was settled and an offer was made, but outside the tank, the deal went south. So how is the company doing today without a Shark?

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.

I visited UC Santa Barbara and there were close to a hundred spikeball games going on at once, on the beach, the fields, and everywhere. It's like the new volleyball in some places

[@tapa5602]

Really not his brand though the original creator was a cartoonist and toy maker. Spike ball is very successful now but it was created as a toy and is a toy. No matter how many middle aged men want to say the are pro athletes now playing it.

The second he said he wanted to market as a sport and not a toy I knew that was a good idea.

[@alahiri2002]

It’s pretty much the whole reason it took off as well. The first thing that comes to the mind for most people when they hear “spikeball” is a beach/park sport.

They play this at my Crossfit gym. It is very popular. What a smart guy to pick up an old game and re-establish it and get the legal rights all in order (trademark and utility patent) etc. And, again smart guy as Ruder (the CEO) wanted this thing to be seen as a sport not a toy. This guy is smart and stuck to his guns This guy deserves all his success. He inspires me. This is an easy, not expensive, set up game, that can be taken practically anywhere and played by many.

[@jackredfern1027]

Mark Cuban was at a Spikeball event recently, with nothing but love and vibes for what this has become - he’s such a good human

[@cam5816]

Mark Cuban ran over my family at a picnic and kidnapped my grandma

[@Arab_Choi_Science]

Most important lesson I learned and keep learning on shark tank: it’s not the idea, it’s the execution and sales that matter.

[@Maxime_K-G]

That's very true. And it holds up in lots of places in life. Something to live by.

[@cam5816]

I am looking for investors in my buttered toast competition. The rules are simple who ever can butter the most toasts in an allotted time, wins. If the bread gets smooshed, you lose a point. This can only be played with patented toast and butter products and the professional knife and plate kit. Please get back to me if you are interested. Our sport is expanding rapidly in England

When you start marketing your product as a toy when it’s age demographic is 18-24 and is marketed as a sport, that’s when your sales start dropping.
