Rent-A-Grandma
| ASKED FOR | GOT | SHARK |
| $150,000 for 20% | NO DEAL | NO SHARK |
Entrepreneurs: Todd Colby Pliss
Rent-A-Grandma is a way to connect trustworthy senior citizens with customers seeking childcare and other household services. Combining Grandma’s with parents looking for a responsible babysitter was such a unique idea.
The idea behind Rent-a-Grandma is that babysitters these days just don’t provide the same experience grandmas can.
Depending on your needs, grandma is being rented out for $14 to $20 per hour. In the end, none of the Sharks were interested in this idea.
The Original Profender
| ASKED FOR | GOT | SHARK |
| $75,000 for 15% | NO DEAL | NO SHARK |
Entrepreneurs: Tony Devine
The Original Profender is a mobile training technology that forces players to read and shoot over a closeout the defender.
In 2008, the idea came to Tony Devine while looking for a basketball training device for his son Devon.
Much like a professional defender, the mobile basketball training device reacts by closing in on his opponent before taking a shot.
