Sunscreenr – UV Camera Shows Sunscreen Coverage
ASKED FOR | GOT | SHARK |
$800,000 for 10% | $800,000 for 33.3% | Kevin O’Leary |
Entrepreneurs: Dave Cohen
Sunscreenr is a device that detects the spots where you may be missing sunscreen. Using SPF 30 sunscreen reduces your chances of skin cancer by 80%. Look through the viewfinder after you turn it on and you can see areas with spots or thin coverage that were missed. Unprotected skin looks light through the Sunscreenr camera, while protected skin looks dark.
What motivated David Cohen and Jon Meyer to come up with this device was watching family members struggle with the disease, they knew something needed to be done to help protect their loved ones from easily avoidable skin damage.
Typical sunscreens work by absorbing UV light before it hits your skin. The Sunscreenr camera can detect how much UV light is actually cooking your skin and how much UV light is being properly blocked.

Potato Parcel – Handwritten Potato Messages
ASKED FOR | GOT | SHARK |
$50,000 for 10% | $50,000 for 10% ($500,000 valuation) | Kevin O’Leary |
Entrepreneurs: Alex Craig and Riad Bekhit
Potato Parcel is the ‘spud’tacularly viral service that lets you send a potato with a personalized message on it to anyone. A Reddit post that became viral, featuring a stamp-covered potato that had been mailed to someone is where the idea for Potato Parcel sprouted came from.
In October 2015, Potato Parcel was sold to Bay Area entrepreneur Riad Bekhit for $40,000 and moved to San Bruno, California. The business of Potato Parcel is growing and now they offer shipping to Europe, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
This is a gift that your family or friends will never expect! According to Riad Bekhit, they’ve sold over 70,000 potatoes since the show aired, earning over $700,000 in sales.

Lulu Bang – Gourmet Sauces
ASKED FOR | GOT | SHARK |
$150,000 for 10% | NO DEAL | NO SHARK |
Entrepreneurs: Jorrae Beard and Kelly Beard
Joyce’s Lulu Bang Sauces come in four distinct flavors, Asian Persuasion, BBQ Fusion, Bourbon Marinade. She named the sauce after her late mother Joyce Beard and late brother Michael “Lulu Bang” Beard.
They developed the recipe for the sauce for their restaurant but it was so well received they began producing them nationwide. They have several other products in development including organic BBQ sauce and blackened seasoning.
UNPACK – Travel Without Packing
ASKED FOR | GOT | SHARK |
$500,000 for 40% | NO DEAL | NO SHARK |
Entrepreneurs: Aaron Liskov and Andrew Zahornacky
Unpack entrepreneurs, Aaron Liskov and Andrew Zahornacky did not have a clear vision for Unpack and as Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner pointed out during their pitch, the duo did not know what business they were in.
You don’t need to worry about packing, wardrobe, and lost luggage, because a suitcase full of toiletries and clothes is sent from Unpack to your travel destination. Unfortunately for Unpack, they ran out of money and were unable to keep the business going.
The hotel sends your suitcase back to Unpack for you, when you’re ready to leave, where all the clothes are cleaned and prepared for their next rental.
