Shark Tank LoveSync Update
- Entrepreneur: Jenn and Ryan Cmich
- Business: Couples’ buttons to help initiate sex
- Ask: $100,000 for 10% equity
- Result: No deal
- Shark: None
Jenn, a marriage counselor, and Ryan, a product developer, found the perfect way to hook up their skills. The LoveSync Button is a discreet bedside device that helps each partner communicate that they’re in the mood—without the risk of rejection. If only one partner presses the button, the other won’t have any idea.
This special brand of ‘privacy’ is the company’s main selling point. Ryan goes on to tell the sharks that they raised $25,000 on Kickstarter and fulfilled all 400 units quickly. They also want to expand to an app version that may be based on a subscription service in the future.

Kevin O’Leary doesn’t agree with making the product into an app. Mark Cuban agrees that he doesn’t like this, and also that they’ve had no sales since the Kickstarter, and that this is a problem for him.
Daymond John straight-up hates the idea, saying that it removes part of the romance from a relationship. Mark and Daymond both drop out, with Barbara Corcoran close behind. She doesn’t hate the idea of the product, but the way Ryan trips over himself to explain things is a dealbreaker for her.
Kevin O’Leary is the last shark in, and he goes out quickly as well. He says that they (Ryan, especially) didn’t do a great job with the pitch and the stumbling was unconvincing. LoveSync walked out of
