15. Buggy Beds
Veronica Periongo and Maria Curcio came up with an interesting solution for anyone struggling with bedbugs. Their company Buggy Beds, offers a glue trap that detects the presence of bed bugs. They walked into the Shark Tank hoping for a $125,000 in exchange for a 7% share in their company.
To their delight, all the sharks were impressed with their idea and wanted to get in on the deal. That’s exactly what happened, and they all jumped in with $250,000 in exchange for 25% equity. They have been thriving since, with a staggering $1.2 million in sales.
