Shark Tank Peoples Design Pitch

Entrepreneur: Tyler Peoples
Business: All-in-one scooping bowl
Ask: $75,000 for 25% equity
Result: $75,000 for 33% equity
Shark: Lori Greiner

Tyler stepped into Shark Tank with the Scooping Bowl, a kitchen gadget he designed to save time, space, and hassle for home chefs.

With his innovative Scooping Bowl, he’s seeking $75,000 in exchange for 25% equity to increase his production and reach a wider audience.

Tyler believes that with a shark’s guidance, his multifunctional kitchen tool could become an everyday essential for millions.

The Scooping Bowl is designed to simplify kitchen tasks and combines multiple functionalities, including washing, soaking, straining, mixing, and separating, into a single tool.

The product features include a silicone blade that functions as both a scraper and dryer, an egg separator, and the ability to wash and strain fruits and vegetables directly in the bowl.

A U.S. utility patent protects the scooping bowl, which retails for $24.95 and costs $5.80 to produce.

Despite its potential, Tyler had sold only 200 units through trade shows and expos, highlighting the product’s need for live demonstrations to convey its value.

Tyler’s pitch emphasized his journey from an executive chef to a mission worker feeding the underserved, underscoring his determination and passion.

Mark Cuban says his favorite kitchen tool is the phone because it lets him order takeout.

He explains that he doesn’t see himself using or selling the Scooping Bowl and becomes the first shark to exit.

Robert Herjavec doesn’t see the Scooping Bowl’s potential to succeed in stores. Without offering much critique, he says he’s out and steps away.

Daymond John declined to invest, feeling that the market is oversaturated with kitchen gadgets and doubting widespread adoption.

While other sharks passed on the deal, citing concerns over marketability, Lori Greiner remained confident in the product’s utility and her ability to scale it.

She offered $75,000 for 33.3% equity, promising to leverage her retail connections to bring the product to major outlets like QVC and Bed Bath & Beyond.

While Kevin O’Leary did not make a direct offer, he strongly advised Tyler to accept Lori’s offer, recognizing the value she could bring to the product.

After some hesitation, Tyler asks Lori if she would consider a royalty deal, suggesting $1 per bowl.

Lori listens but reiterates that she prefers equity because of the work and risk involved in launching the product.

Ultimately, Tyler accepts Lori’s offer and leaves with a deal.

Shark Tank Peoples Design Update

Our Peoples Design update revealed that the deal with Lori Greiner successfully closed.

With her expertise and the QVC platform, she helped the company reach thousands of households across the nation.

Moreover, the product’s exposure on QVC helped it gain traction, resulting in approximately $500,000 in sales over two years.

Further, our Peoples Design update found that the company rebranded as the Squeebie Multi-Purpose Mixing Bowl.

Despite this initial success, the company ceased operations around 2018.

The Squeebie Bowl is no longer available on QVC or any other retail platforms.

Additionally, the company’s online presence has remained inactive since that time, signaling a quiet exit from the market.

Our research into the Peoples Design update found that Tyler has since shifted his focus to community service.

He now works as a catering manager for Springs Rescue Mission.

This will be our final Peoples Design update.
