Tristen Ikaika Shark Tank Update

Tristen Ikaika Shark Tank Pitch

Tristen Amal Ikaikamaikai’Ikaneokalani appeared on Shark Tank Season 13, Episode 12, which aired on January 20, 2022, with Limited edition rings made from recycled spoons and other materials.

Tristen Ikaika is listed in the Accessories Gadgets category. In plain terms, the business is described as Limited edition rings made from recycled spoons and other materials.

Tristen Ikaika asked the Sharks for $250,000 for 5%, implying a valuation of about $5 million.

On the show, Tristen Ikaika made a listed deal with Kevin O'Leary for $250,000 for 15%.

If treated as straight equity, the listed deal works out to about $1.7 million implied valuation, down from the original $5 million implied valuation.

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