Shark Tank first premiered on ABC in 2009, and since then, it has been giving new wings to entrepreneurs and introducing innovative products to customers. Throughout the show's history, many products have stood out during their pitches, winning over the investors' panel and even securing multi-shark deals.

Matt and Melissa Hammersley, the founders of Novel Effect, were featured in Season 9 of Shark Tank and transformed bedtime storytelling for both parents and kids. Novel Effect is a voice-activated app that makes storytelling fun and engaging. The founders asked for $500,000 in exchange for 10% equity and attracted Lori Grenier with their intriguing children's storytelling app.

Lori saw potential in the app and countered the offer with $500,000 for 15% equity. The deal was made; however, it did not ultimately pan out. Despite this, the founders made a mark for themselves and found success through other avenues.

Another pitch, Dreamland Baby, which appeared in Season 11, presented a unique idea: a weighted blanket that promotes sound sleep in children. The founder, Tara Williams, asked for $100,000 in exchange for a 10% stake in the company. Lori Greiner was willing to offer a deal and countered with $100,000 for 22.5% equity.

However, the founder did not find the counteroffer appealing and left Shark Tank without any investment proposition.

The third product, TushBaby, featured in Season 10, was an "ergonomic baby carrier" presented by founder Tammy Rant. Tammy asked for $200,000 in exchange for 10% equity. Seeing the promising quality of the product and endorsements by chiropractors and pediatricians, the sharks showed interest.

Daymond John and Kevin O'Leary were quick to make offers. However, Tammy was eager to secure a deal with Lori Greiner. Seeing Tammy's inclination, Mark Cuban chose not to propose an offer, and Kevin and Daymond withdrew theirs. Lori Greiner ultimately locked the deal at $200,000 for 20% equity.


Shark Tank Season 16 airs on Fridays on ABC Network.
