The Wingman Inflatable Life Jacket
| ASKED FOR | GOT | SHARK |
| $200,000 for 12.5% | NO DEAL | NO SHARK |
Entrepreneurs: Mike Fox and Pat Hughes
Wingman is the world’s first inflatable life jacket designed for high performance in water activities like swimming and surfing and the most versatile and thinnest inflation vest.
In a new era of water safety, the Wingman utilizes Hyde’s patented innovations where life jackets no longer inhibit performance and range of motion but rather enhance it. The Wingman allows users knowing that safety is just one pull away, to perform and push themselves at their best. Your Wingman is more than a life jacket.
The entrepreneur claims that the Wingman is covered by patents regarding the placement of the CO2 device and the type and placement of the securing zipper that allows the harness to lie flat.
The Pop Pacifier Stays Clean When Dropped
| ASKED FOR | GOT | SHARK |
| $250,000 for 5% | $250,000 for 10% | Kevin O’Leary |
Entrepreneurs: Nicki Radzely
The Pop provides extra peace of mind when caring for your newborn. The nipple is ready for the baby and stays popped out when it lands in their crib or baby seat. The nipple pops back, when it takes a larger tumble to the floor, saving it from unwanted surface contact.
The pacifier comes in four or five different colors and is aimed at babies between newborns and six months old.
Your baby is ready to transition to the Pop & Go pacifier, once the baby is starting to put things in their mouth themselves. The Pop & Go firmly locks in the extended position which gives you better control of when the nipple is available for your active baby.
Zuvaa African Marketplace
| ASKED FOR | GOT | SHARK |
| $460,000 for 10% | NO DEAL | NO SHARK |
Entrepreneurs: Kelechi Anyadiegwu
Zuvaa is an online marketplace to buy and sell products by African designers created by an entrepreneur in Atlanta, GA.
According to Kelechi, the success came faster than was expected and she admits that to successfully handle such a rapidly growing enterprise her company did not have a strong enough infrastructure.
Zuvaa has decided to shut down and they are under new management and will be reopening again in 2020. During the shutdown, the current state of Zuvaa is unknown.
