Monkey Mat After Shark Tank: Closure, Sales and Net Worth

Monkey Mat has no publicly verified current net worth. In 2020, Mark Cuban said it had decided to close. Courtney Turich and Christie Barany accepted a televised $100,000-for-35% offer from Cuban and Lori Greiner in 2014. Turich later said the deal closed after due diligence; investor reporting also documents historical retail sales. The exact cessation date and any subsequent official relaunch remain unverified in our October 11, 2026 source review.

What was Monkey Mat?

Monkey Mat was a portable mat designed to fold into a small pouch for outings and travel. In a March 1, 2018 Austin Woman interview, Christie Barany described needing a portable surface for her children during an airport delay. Her colleague Courtney Turich wanted a similar product for outdoor activities. The report dates their soft launch to October 2012.

In her March 2, 2022 interview with The Medical Sales Podcast, Turich described starting the business with a friend from Stryker. That account supports the founders’ medical-device background; it should not be confused with biographies of unrelated entrepreneurs.

The product’s lightweight format and weighted corners were central to its appeal. A November 19, 2015 company announcement introduced a quilted version and a Kickstarter campaign. That announcement documents a product expansion at the time; it does not establish that either version remains available today.

What deal did Monkey Mat get on Shark Tank?

The founders’ June 3, 2015 AmericasMart interview places their broadcast on April 4, 2014. A recap published that evening records a $100,000 request for 30% and an accepted joint offer from Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner for 35%.

What happened after the show?

Austin Woman’s 2018 founder profile describes the investment and expansion into retail chains. In her 2022 interview, Turich explicitly said the deal closed after due diligence and described Mark’s ongoing support team. We therefore record it as founder-reported closed. The account does not disclose a final signed equity agreement or establish anyone’s present ownership.

Lori Greiner’s Monkey Mat portfolio page, originally published July 9, 2020, reports $5.7 million in retail sales over five years following the Shark Tank appearance. This is an attributed historical sales milestone. It is not a measure of annual revenue in 2026, company profit, company value or either founder’s personal wealth.

Did Monkey Mat close, and can you still buy it?

In Eric Ries’s interview transcript published May 15, 2020, Cuban said Monkey Mat had chosen to close while it still had cash, with money to return to shareholders. He cited tariff pressure and changes in its customer base. This is direct investor evidence of a closure decision by that date, not an exact final trading or legal dissolution date.

We could not verify an active official order channel through the original monkeymat.com website during our October 10, 2026 review. A separate similarly named site presents Amazon affiliate links, but we could not verify that it is operated by the founders or original company. Neither an old listing nor an affiliate site establishes an official relaunch. Check the seller, stock and return terms before buying from a marketplace.

What is Monkey Mat’s net worth?

We have no verified current valuation or annual-revenue disclosure. The founders’ original $100,000-for-30% request implies about $333,333 for the whole business at the proposed terms. The accepted 35% offer implies about $285,714. These historical calculations should not be described as current net worth, and the retail-sales milestone does not supply the missing financial information.

Correction, October 11, 2026: We replaced an unsupported 2021 closure date with Cuban’s dated account, removed an unsupported annual-revenue figure, corrected the joint investor description and founder background, and separated pitch valuations from current financial information.
