The Clean Cube Update | Shark Tank Season 7

Arthur Shmulevsky and Ryan Agran noticed that people in New York City apartments kept missing deliveries, losing packages, and struggling with laundry. To solve this, they created The Clean Cube, a locker system inside apartment buildings where residents can safely receive packages, drop off dry cleaning, and store items. This setup helps people handle errands on their own time without worrying about missed deliveries. It makes daily life easier and more convenient for busy residents. Will the sharks invest in this business? Let’s find out in our The Clean Cube update and pitch recap.

Shark Tank The Clean Cube Pitch

• Entrepreneurs: Arthur Shmulevsky and Ryan Agran
• Business: Automated doorman service for residential locations
• Ask: $300,000 for 10% equity
• Result: No deal
• Shark: None

Arthur and Ryan stepped into Shark Tank with a plan to fix one of the biggest frustrations in the on-demand world; getting packages and services the last mile to customers.

They sought an investment to scale and expand into more buildings.

Arthur starts by explaining how people rely on convenience, ordering packages and laundry services with ease.

However, he noted that a major issue was the last-mile delivery. Packages get stolen, and customers often wait at home for deliveries that require a signature.

They introduce The Clean Cube, a secure, self-service kiosk that makes drop-offs and deliveries easier.

To demonstrate how it works, Ryan introduces a replica of The Clean Cube system on stage.

Mark Cuban wants to know more about their business model and asks how they convince landlords to install The Clean Cubes.

Arthur explains that the buildings they target lack doormen, yet tenants still want a secure package system.

Each unit costs $3,000 to install. Kevin O’Leary, interested in revenue streams, asks how they make money from landlords.

Arthur explained that in their most recent deals, landlords have paid $7,000 per installation.

However, Robert Herjavec questions why a landlord would pay for this service. Arthur explains that many landlords are looking to fill unused spaces in their buildings while also attracting more tenants.

Arthur then shares that their expansion plans go beyond residential buildings. They aim to install The Clean Cubes in public spaces like Starbucks and gyms, offering more convenience to city dwellers.

Ryan adds that they earned $150,000 the previous year, with most of that revenue generated in the last three months with 552 users actively using The Clean Cube.

Robert says he likes the concept, but he sees a major issue. He is unsure whether The Clean Cube’s physical footprint is the right approach. Because of this, he decides to drop out.

Kevin doesn’t like complex business models, he also exits the negotiations.

Lori Greiner believes the business is too early in its development, so she decides to step away.

Mark says the business will constantly struggle between managing technology and service operations.

He also notes that nothing about The Clean Cube is proprietary, meaning a larger company could easily copy the model. With these concerns, he backs out.

Barbara Corcoran doesn’t believe in the proposed subscription model and feels the market is too narrow to generate significant profits. She’s out.

Let’s see how the company is doing now in our The Clean Cube update.

Shark Tank The Clean Cube Update

Our The Clean Cube update found that the company continued operations for a brief period.

However, by November 2015, after three years in business, the company ceased operations and closed its doors.

The reasons for this closure were not publicly detailed, but challenges in scaling the business and competition from larger companies offering similar services may have contributed.

The official website for The Clean Cube was thecleancube.com. However, given the company’s closure, the website is no longer active.

This will be our final The Clean Cube update.
