Van Robotics Shark Tank Update

Van Robotics Shark Tank Pitch

Dr. Laura Boccanfuso appeared on Shark Tank Season 11, Episode 21, which aired on May 6, 2020, with smart robot tutor.

Van Robotics is listed in the Software Tech category. In plain terms, the business is described as smart robot tutor.

Van Robotics asked the Sharks for $300,000 for 10%, implying a valuation of about $3 million.

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

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

Van Robotics After Shark Tank

Follow-up reporting put annual revenue around $4 million by June 2021 and noted a StartEngine raise of $328,600. The company also repositioned its website more toward parents while continuing to serve schools. (Van Robotics follow-up reporting

The current Smart Robot Tutor site remains active with ABii, curriculum, teacher training, and annual robot-license renewal language. That supports active status even though the Shark Tank deal never happened. (Smart Robot Tutor official site
