What do the Shark Tank Investors say about No Phone
- Mark Cuban goes out because they applied for a patent, and there is nothing he hates more than dumb patents such as there's on a block of plastic. He is out.
- Daymond John asked if they have tried going to Spencers. They said they are advertising guys, but not sales guys. He can't invest in this because he would feel really stupid. He is out.
- Kevin O'Leary thinks it's cute but will never be pragmatic it is never going to be a big business.
- Lori Greiner brings up the cat poster that says hang in there, she is sorry to say, but she thinks the cat needs to let go. She is not going to invest in this; she is out.
- Robert Herjavec said this is impressive. They sold 3100 units. He fears that they have already maxed out the market.
Van and Chris think the Sharks missed a great opportunity because their NoPhone will be a revolution.
NoPhone after Shark Tank
NoPhone managed to get a TEDx talk on their phone. They are now offering a waterproof version, without a battery, and a phone that is not addictive. The phone has no plan.
NoPhone even ran a Kickstarter program and managed to get 130 backers for $1,239.
They have expanded their product line as well, with the Family Plan, the NoPhone Air, and employee gift pack!
