S13.E19: LUCY; SwiftPaws; BusyBox; The Dirty Cookie - Shark Tank

Sharks Kevin, Mark, Lori, Daymond, Robert, I like some of the guest sharks, but I like when the regular cast is here.

1. LUCIDART-Seller was on show in Season 2, with a carsick bib.   This is a drawing tool, where you draw over the image of the item, so anyone can be an artist.   It has a viewing tool, where you look at the object through a lens, and you trace the object.   Kevin does this, and should stay a Shark, and not become an artist.  20% of the sales are beginners, some amateurs, and some pros.   Lifetime sales $10 million, last year $3.7 million in 2020, almost half profit.   95% is sold online.   I think Lori would have been a good Shark with her QVC shows.   Daymond makes the deal.  (Thanks to EXEAL for the correction.)

2. Swift Paws-Watching Kevin do this for $10 is hysterical.  It's a way to exercise dogs, with a game of chase.  You set the course, pull the trigger, and the animal chases the toy.  There's a remote control for the owner.    It's actually a competitive sport.  The use straight line courses for pros.  It's part of lure coursing, and agility competitions.    There's one for pro competitions, and the home edition.   $449 for the home kit, $135 to build, $1.5 million lifetime.   The sales and profit numbers suck.   She does the assembly in her home town, and should be doing it off shore.  She needs a much lower price to manufacture.  If they get the price down, I think it will be a fantastic product.  I think this is a product for someone who bought a high energy dog, and wants to exercise the dog while the owner is on the phone, and something else, because they don't want to care for the dog.   I wonder about all of the jerky, fast movements, and how many dogs will get injuries from it.   Lori gets the deal with the Golden Ticket.  

3. Busybox-Productivity tool when working from home.    An electronic sign you can put on your door, to say you're working, and you can put whatever message or colors on it.    There's a standard and digital model.  The digital model is $299.    There competitors to sit on your desk, the sign from Busybox mounts on your door at home, to keep people from interrupting you on video calls.   Seller is scattered, has a ton of different ideas.    I think he came on the show for publicity, and if he landed a Shark, it would be a bonus for him.   No deal.

4. Dirty Cookie-an innovation in sweet treats.   In the edible gifting space, with a shot glass made of cookies, with gluten free offerings.   You sip the beverage, and eat the cookie container.  $50 a dozen, $13 to manufacture, you decorate your own.   2020 sales are almost $2 million.  2021 $2.6 million, and only made $300k.   They're partnering with FTD flowers, and 1-800-flowers.    She's 100% owner.   She thinks they'll get to $6 million in 2023.    Kevin tells her to get her costs down to $3.00 from $12.00.    Everyone is out but Lori, and Robert is back.  She makes the deal with Robert.
