What the Sharks Thought about UnPack

Lori Greiner says she would be worried if something doesn’t fit or she doesn’t like something that was included, while Robert Herjavec thinks it doesn’t solve any problem. In six months, 38 people have used their service. Mark Cuban says the “name sucks” and believes they should focus more on picking custom looks based on a location.

The sharks say the founders don’t even know what business they’re in and believe they are confused. Cuban goes out, followed by Herjavec and Kevin O’Leary because they don’t understand the business model. Daymond John finds the issue in customers still needing to pack personal items and goes out.

Greiner calls it a “nightmare” and goes out.

Each week on “Shark Tank,” budding entrepreneurs have the opportunity to pitch their emerging business to six multi-millionaire and billionaire investors, known as sharks: Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks; Daymond John, fashion mogul and founder of FUBU; Kevin O’Leary, self-proclaimed Mr. Wonderful and founder of O’Leary Financial Group; Barbara Corcoran, real estate maven; Lori Greiner, queen of QVC; and Robert Herjavec, technology guru and founder/CEO of the Herjavec Group. Venture capitalist Chris Sacca is also slated to appear as a guest shark this season.

“Shark Tank,” which is based on “Dragons’ Den,” is produced by Mark Burnett and first debuted in 2009. To date, the sharks have invested more than $87 million in various companies after engaging in numerous bidding wars and shark fights. A new episode airs each Friday at 9 p.m. on ABC.
