FinalStraw Shark Tank Update

FinalStraw Shark Tank Pitch

Emma Rose Cohen and Miles Pepper appeared on Shark Tank Season 10, Episode 1, which aired on October 7, 2018, with the world’s first collapsible, reusable metal straw.

FinalStraw is listed in the Other category. In plain terms, the business is described as the world’s first collapsible, reusable metal straw.

FinalStraw asked the Sharks for $625,000 for 5%, implying a valuation of about $12.5 million.

The source data lists no completed on-air deal for FinalStraw.

This pitch is included as context for the more important question: what happened after Shark Tank.

FinalStraw After Shark Tank

FinalStraw left without a deal, but it already had major crowdfunding momentum: its Kickstarter raised about $1.8 million before the Shark Tank episode aired. (FinalStraw Shark Tank Update

The post-show story was messy. The company faced knockoffs, co-founder issues, customer complaints around later reusable-product campaigns, and a forfeited original California LLC in 2022. (FinalStraw Shark Tank Update

The brand later continued under the broader Final / Final Co. name. It is still a niche reusable-goods business, but the update is more complicated than the early viral straw success suggests. (FinalStraw Shark Tank Update
