Students Anna Stork and Andrea Sreshta came up with the bright idea of inflatable solar lights to help with disaster relief efforts.
div > div.group > p:first-child"> Getting five offers on the table is a rarity on"Shark Tank." But for entrepreneurs Anna Stork and Andrea Sreshta, persuading the Sharks to believe in their product was a seamless effort.
"One of the things we saw was that there was a real need for solar lighting on the ground after the earthquake, so we designed a solar inflatable light for disaster relief aid," Stork said. "We waited a little bit of time before going on 'Shark Tank,' and I'm glad that we did," Stork said."We actually were going to be on a season earlier, but then we ... we were kind of pushed into the next season, and that allowed us actually to have another, I think, year of sales, basically."
Sreshta said Cuban has helped them stay as innovative as possible. Now, LuminAID sells solar lanterns that double as phone chargers. They've also expanded their market and sell to retail stores for camping and outdoor use, as well as to individuals for emergency kits.
