Uprising Bread Shark Tank Update

Uprising Bread Shark Tank Pitch

William Schumacher and Kristen Schumacher appeared on Shark Tank Season 13, Episode 1, which aired on October 8, 2021, with keto, paleo, gluten free prebiotic/probiotic bread that’s good for your gut.

Uprising Bread is listed in the Food Beverage category. In plain terms, the business is described as keto, paleo, gluten free prebiotic/probiotic bread that’s good for your gut.

Uprising Bread asked the Sharks for $500,000 for 3%, implying a valuation of about $16.7 million.

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

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

Uprising Bread After Shark Tank

Uprising Bread left Shark Tank without a deal after the Sharks pushed back on the valuation, losses, and the difficulty of making an expensive keto bread profitable. (Uprising Shark Tank Update

The company had raised a $1.3 million Series A before the episode and was still producing meaningful revenue after the show, with update coverage later putting annual revenue around $1.2 million. (Uprising Shark Tank Update

Uprising closed its doors in March 2023. The later founder update is also clear: Kristen and William Schumacher moved on to executive roles at Nehemiah Manufacturing Company, so this is a closed food brand rather than a quiet active store. (Uprising Shark Tank Update
