Shark Tank Season 17, Episode 14

Caroline Renezeder Foulk of Laguna Beach, California pitched Beer Girl, a corn-based Mexican-style light lager at 3.5% ABV that is gluten-reduced, sugar-free and brewed to be easier to digest than wheat beer, marketed as beer that won't make you bloat. A former touring musician who opened for R&B acts, she joined her family's Wagon Wheel Brewing Company during the pandemic and noticed women choosing ciders and seltzers over beer, so she worked with the head brewer on a beer built with women in mind. Sales were about $140,000 in 2023 and similar in the current year, with $1.1 million projected after opening 150 new retail doors. Robert Herjavec praised the flavor but declined, Lori Greiner deferred to Fawn Weaver's beverage expertise, Daniel Lubetzky cited gaps in alcohol knowledge, and Kevin O'Leary questioned the brewing process. Fawn offered $125,000 for 20%. Caroline asked her to add a $500,000 line of credit for purchase orders; Fawn declined, and Caroline accepted the original deal.

Lauryn Menard of San Francisco pitched GOB, biodegradable single-use earplugs made from mycelium instead of petroleum-based foam, which cut noise by about 20 decibels while letting some sound through, cost about 10 cents to make and sell four for $5. Motivated by her mother's hearing loss and years of loud shows with her fiancé's band, she spent months researching the environmental impact of the billions of plastic earplugs made each year before landing on mushroom material. Sales were $40,000 in the first two months with no paid advertising. Daniel Lubetzky liked the mission but said the product needed work, Robert Herjavec worried about market saturation, Lori Greiner said they don't block enough noise for people who want silence, Kevin O'Leary objected to the $5 million valuation, and Fawn Weaver didn't understand the appeal of partial noise reduction. No offers.

Susana Chen of New York City pitched Never Have I Ever, artist-designed press-on nails sold as wearable, collectible art at around $18 to $20 a set on a $2 to $3 production cost, with each box paying the artist a 5% royalty, plus a growing line of temporary tattoos and tooth gems. She grew up in the city valuing visual expression over academics and attended Parsons on a product design scholarship. Total sales were $900,000, with $400,000 last year and $600,000 in outstanding receivables. Daniel Lubetzky wanted financial clarity on the receivables, Lori Greiner appreciated the product but declined, and Fawn Weaver praised the creativity but passed on the category. Kevin O'Leary initially went out over the business structure. Robert Herjavec offered $150,000 for 25%, then 20%, both rejected. Kevin came back with $150,000 for 10% plus a 50-cent royalty per unit until $450,000 is paid, and Susana accepted.

Anders Olmanson pitched REMplenish, a resistance-based Myo-Nozzle that attaches to a bottle or straw so every sip becomes a controlled suction exercise with proper tongue placement, turning daily hydration into airway-muscle training to reduce snoring and improve sleep. He learned that playing the didgeridoo strengthens airway muscles but isn't practical daily, and saw how hard it was for sleep apnea patients to stick with prescribed oral exercises. Sales grew from $450,000 in 2022 to $1.1 million in 2023 and $3.9 million in 2024, driven by digital advertising, with $8 to $10 million projected. Robert Herjavec found the nozzle uncomfortable, Lori Greiner wanted proof of efficacy, and Fawn Weaver wanted to try it personally first. Kevin O'Leary offered $400,000 for 10%. Daniel Lubetzky joined him, first at 15% then 12%, before the two settled on a joint $400,000 for 10%. Anders countered at 8%, then accepted the 10%.
