In her pitch on Shark Tank, Karen revealed that one of her biggest issues so far has been with co-packers. Because of this, Karen was hoping to reel in a shark to help her find the right co-packing partner, reduce the costs of goods, and increase her margins.

Unfortunately, while Karen’s pitch started out well initially, the sharks quickly found themselves frustrated. Karen failed to answer all questions regarding the profitability of Creation Nation and the sharks grew tired of her pitch. All of the sharks agreed that it was too much of a risk to invest in Creation Nation, as it seemed that the entrepreneur didn’t have her numbers straight.

While Creation Nation did leave the Shark Tank without a deal, Mark Cuban did state that he might regret not investing in Karen’s company. So, what has Karen been up to since? Well, during our research for the Creation Nation update, we found that the company seems to be doing well after airing.

Even though a Shark Tank deal might have propelled it to higher heights, especially with a more health-conscious market today, the company has continued to soldier on. Creation Nation’s social media accounts are filled with updates about recipes and the product seems to be selling well on Amazon, and most genuine reviews seem to love Creation Nation’s protein mixes.
