The Bumbling Bee Shark Tank Update

The Bumbling Bee Shark Tank Pitch

India Iyala and Cassandra Iyala appeared on Shark Tank Season 12, Episode 22, which aired on April 23, 2021, with vegan junk food restaurant.

The Bumbling Bee is listed in the Food Beverage category. In plain terms, the business is described as vegan junk food restaurant.

The Bumbling Bee asked the Sharks for $150,000 for 10%, implying a valuation of about $1.5 million.

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

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

The Bumbling Bee After Shark Tank

The Bumbling Bee left Shark Tank without a deal. The pitch was built around vegan comfort food and a family restaurant concept, which made the growth story more local and operationally heavy than a simple shipped product. (The Bumbling Bee Shark Tank Update

The public trail after the show is limited compared with stronger Season 12 performers. There is no clear current national storefront or obvious active restaurant footprint to point readers toward with confidence. (The Bumbling Bee Shark Tank Update

Because the brand history is thin and fragmented, the current status is best treated as unknown or dormant instead of pretending there is a verified active business. (The Bumbling Bee Shark Tank Update
