See Rescue Streamer Update | Shark Tank Season 8

Dr. Robert Yonover found himself in a nerve-wracking moment on a small plane with an engine that was sputtering—and no way to signal for help if things went wrong. That scare led him to create the See Rescue Streamer, a 25-foot bright orange strip that can be spotted from the air, helping rescuers locate anyone stranded at sea or on land. Will Robert secure a shark’s support to bring the See Rescue Streamer to the masses? Let’s dive into our See Rescue Streamer update and pitch recap to find out.

If you’re short on time, here’s a quick overview of what happened to See Rescue Streamer after Shark Tank.

Robert entered Shark Tank Season 8, seeking $200,000 for 20% equity in his rescue signal device. After his pitch, he was unable to convince any of the sharks to buy into his business.

In terms of a See Rescue Streamer update, the company experienced a boost in attention and sales after Shark Tank. Further, they have grown to an annual revenue of $3.9 million.

Shark Tank See Rescue Streamer Pitch

• Entrepreneur: Robert Yonover
• Business: Rescue signal device
• Ask: $200,000 for 20% equity
• Result: No deal
• Sharks: None

Robert’s quest to make rescues faster and safer brought him to Shark Tank.

He sought an investment to scale up production and reach a broader market, from outdoor enthusiasts to military agencies.

The See Rescue Streamer is a bright orange safety device. It helps people in emergency situations become visible from the air or sea.

Specifically designed for outdoor enthusiasts, military, and space organizations, it targets those who may be lost or in distress.

See Rescue Streamer operates as an emergency equipment business focused on visibility and signaling.

Moreover, the streamer is compact and easy to carry. Users can quickly unfurl it during emergencies.

A major benefit of the See Rescue Streamer is its high visibility, making it easy to spot both day and night and significantly increasing the chances of a quick rescue.

After making his pitch, he invites Kevin O’Leary to help demonstrate the product.

To illustrate, Kevin grabs one end of the streamer and walks down the hallway to fully extend it.

The fabric contains reflective material, visible both day and night, ensuring it’s hard to miss.

He then shows an example of a person lost at sea but now using the product; the visibility difference is striking—you can’t miss him.

Moving forward, he explains that he’s been selling the product to the military, with $15 million in lifetime sales.

However, that $15 million was earned over 15 years through a licensing deal he took to help care for his wife, who has Multiple Sclerosis.

Now that the agreement has ended, he’s taking control of the product, with sales at $200,000 in the current year (2017).

Despite his efforts, Daymond John believes the real money lies in military contracts and feels he isn’t the right fit for that path, so he’s out.

Meanwhile, Lori Greiner doesn’t think the idea will fly as a commercial product. She’s out.

Robert Herjavec, in contrast, sees too many obstacles to entering the consumer market and withdraws from the negotiations.

Mark Cuban says the business doesn’t look like what he can invest in. He’s out as well.

Finally, Kevin feels the relaunch would require too much effort, and he’s the last shark to withdraw from the negotiations.

Let’s get a See Rescue Streamer update to see how Robert navigated his business without a shark’s money.
