Shark Tank Cup Board Pro Update 2026

Keith Young was tired of kitchen messes slowing things down, so he invented the Cup Board Pro, a bamboo cutting board with a detachable cup that catches liquids and scraps for fast, easy cleanup. After his passing, his children, Kaley Young, Keira Young, and Christian Young, took up his dream and brought the product to life. Will Keith’s children get the sharks to believe in their father’s vision? Let’s find out in our Cup Board Pro update and pitch recap.

If you’re short on time, here’s a quick overview of what happened to Cup Board Pro after Shark Tank.

Kaley, Keira, and Christian entered Shark Tank Season 10, seeking $100,000 for 10% equity in their cooking accessory brand. After their pitch, all five sharks were moved by their story and made a deal of $100,000 for 20% equity + profits to the family charity with the entrepreneurs.

In terms of a Cup Board Pro update, the company sold out its initial 2,000-unit inventory within minutes of airing and later partnered with Williams-Sonoma to scale production and distribution.

Shark Tank Cup Board Pro Pitch

Entrepreneurs: Kaley, Keira, and Christian Young
Business: Cooking accessory
Ask: $100,000 for 10% equity
Result: $100,000 for 20% equity + profits to family charity
Sharks: Lori Greiner, Daymond John, Mark Cuban, Matt Higgins, and Kevin O’Leary

Siblings Kaley, Keira, and Christian entered Shark Tank to honor their late father, Keith Young, a New York City firefighter and two-time Chopped champion.

Keith invented the Cup Board Pro, a bamboo cutting board with grooves that channel liquids. It includes a detachable cup to make food prep faster and cleanup easier.

Before pitching, the siblings played a video their father had recorded as his audition for the show.

In it, Keith shared how, as a busy single dad after losing his wife to cancer, he needed a cleaner, more efficient way to cook. His idea became the Cup Board Pro.

After the video, the siblings explained that Keith had put the invention on hold to care for their mother, Beth, during her cancer battle. She passed away in 2012.

Keith returned to the project and prepared to sell his first shipment, but doctors diagnosed him with 9/11-related cancer, which he developed while working at Ground Zero.

Sadly, he passed away just three months before the Shark Tank filming. His children were now carrying out his dream for him.

The sharks were visibly moved, especially Daymond John and guest shark Matt Higgins, who had both been personally impacted by 9/11.

Emotions ran high in the room as the pitch turned into a tribute. Still, the sharks focused on learning more.

They asked about production costs and sales. Kaley shared that each Cup Board Pro costs around $12.50 to make and is sold for $40 through their website.

In just three weeks, they sold 300 units and made $12,000 in sales. They still had 2,000 units in inventory, all stored and shipped from home with handwritten thank-you notes.

Meanwhile, after the sharks asked all their questions, they asked the siblings to wait outside. What followed was a rare moment in the Shark Tank.

After a quick discussion, all five sharks agreed to team up. They offered $100,000 for 20% equity, with each putting in $20,000.

But there was a heartfelt twist: all profits from their shares would go to charities that support firefighters and first responders affected by 9/11.

When Kaley, Keira, and Christian returned to hear the offer, they accepted without hesitation.

The pitch ended with all five sharks embracing the siblings, marking one of the most emotional and inspiring moments in Shark Tank history.

Now, let’s take a look at what happened to the siblings after Shark Tank in our Cup Board Pro update.

Shark Tank Cup Board Pro Update

Our Cup Board Pro update found that the deal with all five sharks closed successfully.

Their product experienced immediate success, selling out its initial inventory of 2,000 units within minutes of the episode airing.

However, to handle the high demand, the sharks introduced the Young family to Williams-Sonoma. This led to a licensing deal that expanded Cup Board Pro’s reach.

Williams-Sonoma now manufactures and sells the cutting boards, including new variations like the Cup Board Pro XL and synthetic models.

At the time of this writing our Cup Board Pro update, the company has generated over $7 million in sales and donated $100,000 to the FDNY Foundation.

The Young siblings have also taken individual paths. Kaley runs an interior design business, Keira studies business at the College of Charleston, and Christian works as a veterinary assistant.

Their father’s legacy lives on through the continued success and charitable contributions of Cup Board Pro.

We’re thrilled to call this Cup Board Pro update a success.
