Ep 3. Halloween Moments, Stakt, Mama O's, Create A Castle

Halloween is just around the corner and things are heating up for the entrepreneurs on Shark Tank. In season 14 episode 3, the sharks are introduced to four new businesses hoping for investment and guidance.

First up is Halloween Moments, a company that creates high-quality, handmade costumes for adults. The founder believes that Halloween is more than just a holiday, it's a time for self-expression and creativity. Their line of costumes includes everything from superheroes to classic movie characters, and they cater to all body types. The sharks are impressed with the quality of the costumes and the attention to detail, but worry that the market is too seasonal to sustain a year-round business.

Next is Stakt, a modular storage system that aims to make organization easy and customizable. The founder says that traditional storage solutions are too rigid and don't adapt to people's changing needs. With Stakt, customers can mix and match various sized containers to create their own unique storage solutions. The sharks are intrigued by the idea but question the cost and scalability of the product.

Mama O's is a vegan and gluten-free food company that specializes in organic, ready-to-eat meals and snacks. The founder, a mother of three, started the company after struggling to find healthy, affordable food options for her family. Mama O's line of products includes lentil soup, chickpea curry, and vegan mac and cheese. The sharks appreciate the company's mission and the quality of their food, but worry that the market for vegan and gluten-free food is too narrow.

Last but not least is Create A Castle, a tool that allows people of all ages to create elaborate sandcastles. The founder, a professional sand sculptor, says that traditional plastic molds don't allow for enough creativity or detail. With Create A Castle, customers can build custom molds and add intricate details to their sandcastles. The sharks are impressed with the product's versatility and potential for expansion into other markets, but question the demand for a product that's only usable at the beach.

As the sharks deliberate, tensions rise and negotiations get tough. Who will secure an investment and a partnership, and who will be left in the tank? Tune in to Shark Tank season 14 episode 3 to find out.
