About Screenmend
ScreenMend is the easiest way to patch a screen. Brian tried to put a patch on the screen, and Lily used wax that she cleaned off the table to get the screen patch to fix. They take a patch and use a hair dryer to heat the was holding the patch in place.
ScreenMend cost $.31 to make, and sells for $6.95. The packaging costs $.53. They have sold 750 units coming into Shark Tank.
They have a provisional patent, and hope to grow big enough to get a utility patent. Brian has not searched to see if any patents exist for the business.
They want to work on their packaging, and want to use the $30,000 for packaging so that they can bring it into retail.
