Ka-Pop! Shark Tank Update

Ka-Pop! Shark Tank Pitch

Dustin Finkel appeared on Shark Tank Season 11, Episode 12, which aired on January 18, 2020, with non-GMO, air-popped, ancient grain chips.

Ka-Pop! is listed in the Food Beverage category. In plain terms, the business is described as non-GMO, air-popped, ancient grain chips.

Ka-Pop! asked the Sharks for $350,000 for 5%, implying a valuation of about $7 million.

The source data lists no completed on-air deal for Ka-Pop!.

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

Ka-Pop! After Shark Tank

Ka-Pop! did not get a Shark Tank deal, but the brand continued after the episode and later reported annual revenue around $5 million. (Ka-Pop Shark Tank update

The line expanded from the original ancient-grain chips into puffs, and follow-up reporting found the snacks in Kroger, Thrive Market, Sprouts Farmers Market, and other channels. (Ka-Pop follow-up reporting

The current Ka-Pop site is active and positions the brand around gluten-free, vegan, non-GMO popped chips and puffs. The update is a no-deal retail survival story, not a Shark-backed one. (Ka-Pop official site
