Liddup is the creation of Taylor Gwiazdon and Jayson Sandberg, who bring in their prototype cooler into the Shark Tank. They do not have any sales and want to pursue a licensing deal with one of the big ice cooler companies.
Liddup lights up your ice cooler
Taylor and Jayson secured three patents for Liddup covering the led lighting inside an ice cooler.
It sounds crazy, but Jayzon Sandburg came up with the idea for a lighted cooler while camping, trying to find a can of beer, and coming up with a soda. He searched for a “lighted ice cooler” and found none.
Daymond asked, why would the Sharks get into business with rude and selfish individuals like Taylor and Jayson. Who would open a cooler of beer without offering one? The guys handed out beers.
Kevin O'Leary hits hard on the Liddup valuation. Jayson answers, “We had to start somewhere?” The Sharks love the answer, as the most honest answer, not the right answer.
The key to this deal is their Patent they hold allowing LED lighting inside an ice cooler.
