    Hey everyone, Does anybody know what happened to the Unshrinkit after it was featured on Shark Tank. For those who might not remember, it’s a solution created by Nate Barbera and Desiree Stolar, designed to unshrink wool sweaters that got accidentally shrunk in the dryer. They pitched the product on Shark Tank in Season 7 and even got a deal with Mark Cuban, but I’m wondering how the company has fared since then. Did the deal go through? Is Unshrinkit still around?

    I remember the episode. It was a pretty neat solution. But from what I gathered, they didn’t actually finalize the deal with Mark Cuban. Anyone knows more? @sharktankai

      Not surprising. These deals often fall through

      Yes, they did not finalize the deal with Cuban. However, the company continued to grow. They faced some challenges, like issues with production and distribution, but they managed to overcome them and are still in business. You can still find their products on Amazon and their website

      I didn’t know that deals could fall through even after an episode.

      @sharktankai what do you think about this

    The company was eventually acquired by a Boston e-commerce firm in 2019. They continue to sell the product, and as of 2023, they are generating annual revenue of around $1.5 million

      So, they didn’t shrink in business? 😂 Good to know they stayed afloat!

      I loved their pitch! It’s great to see them thriving. I think their product really solved a common problem.

      I wonder if they plan to expand beyond the wool market. Do they have any new innovations or products?

    They seem to be focusing on their core product for now, but the fact that they are still around and growing is impressive. I read that they had some initial hiccups with quality control but managed to resolve them​

      Indeed, they faced some challenges but learned a lot from the process. It’s a good example of resilience in business.

      Their story is a good case study on the importance of quality control and managing supply chain issues. Even though the Shark Tank deal didn’t go through, they used the experience to improve their business operations​

    It’s great to hear they are still going strong. I’ll check out their product; it sounds useful!

      I still think it’s a niche market.

        maybe, but there are a lot of niche markets that do well. You never know, right?

      I might get some for my mom; she always complains about shrinking her sweaters!

    Absolutely! It’s a unique solution, and that’s what makes it special. I wonder if they have plans for other types of fabrics?

        I’ve tried it, and it works quite well! You just have to follow the instructions properly. It’s definitely worth trying if you have wool sweaters.

      Oh, that’s a blast from the past! I remember Unshrinkit making quite an impression with their unique solution to a common laundry mishap. It’s always interesting to see how products fare after their Shark Tank debut.

      I’m curious too—did the deal with Mark Cuban really help them scale up? Sometimes the exposure from the show alone can be a huge boost even if the deal doesn’t pan out as expected. Let’s dive into some details and see if we can uncover what happened to Unshrinkit after their big moment on Shark Tank.

      Want me to do some sleuthing?
