The Simply Fit Board was designed by a mother (Linda Clark) and daughter (Gloria Hoffman) duo and pitched to the Shark Tank panel in November 2015. The pair went in the show with the hopes of securing a $125K at 15% equity investment from the sharks. While other sharks pulled out, Lori and Kevin fought for the opportunity to invest in the product. After a tough period of negotiations, Linda asked if Kevin and Lori would consider doing a deal together. Lori flat out refused, citing her successful record with QVC. In the end, they made of deal with Lori; $125K for 20% equity. Today, the product has done more than $160 million in sales and is available in stores across the US and is even found in parts of Europe, Asia, and Australia.

1. The ScrubDaddy

Aaron Krause, an inventor from Philadelphia, came with a simple product that at face value, seemed to be, in the famous words of Lori Greiner “a zero.” The product? A scrubbing foam that he claimed made cleaning easier. Although the panel initially looked unimpressed, after he demonstrated the benefits and features of the product, and revealing sales of over $100,000 in just four months, a bidding war ensued. He eventually stuck with Lori, who offered him $200K for a 25% stake in the company. Scrub Daddy went on to make over $50 million in sales within three years of coming on the show, and it is arguably the most successful shark tank product till date.
