Flipstik Shark Tank Pitch

Akeem Shannon appeared on Shark Tank Season 12, Episode 4, which aired on November 5, 2020, with space-technology-based adhesive device that let’s users attach their phones to any surface.

Flipstik is listed in the Accessories Gadgets category. In plain terms, the business is described as space-technology-based adhesive device that let’s users attach their phones to any surface.

Flipstik asked the Sharks for $100,000 for 20%, implying a valuation of about $500,000.

On the show, Flipstik made a listed deal with Lori Greiner for $100,000 for 25%.

If treated as straight equity, the listed deal works out to about $400,000 implied valuation, down from the original $500,000 implied valuation.
