Grease Monkey Wipes Shark Tank Pitch
Erin Whalen and Tim Stansbury are recreational cyclists who met through a training group. When Erin got a flat tire on her bike and Tim helped fix it, they were both left with grease on their hands and a solution on their minds.
Their product, Grease Monkey Wipes, is tailored to work exceptionally well with grease. They also have a really nice logo and it is trademarked.
It's the best logo I've ever seen.
Tim and Erin work really well together (and we're all thinking it...eventual couple). Tim has a background in marketing and Erin has a background in business.
In the first few months of being on the market, they have done $7k in revenue. All sharks go out except Robert.
Tim, Erin, the product, the logo; everything in front of Robert is so likable it's hard to say no. Erin has those puppy dog eyes and a bubbly personality.
