Left Field Shark Tank Update

Left Field Shark Tank Pitch

Samantha Martin and Kate Sieler appeared on Shark Tank Season 17, Episode 10, which aired on January 21, 2026, with A no-swipe dating app.

Left Field is listed in the Technology category. In plain terms, the business is described as A no-swipe dating app.

Left Field asked the Sharks for $200,000 for 5% equity, implying a valuation of about $4 million.

On the show, Left Field made a listed deal for $200,000 for 8% equity plus 4% in advisory shares.

If treated as straight equity, the listed deal works out to about $2.5 million implied valuation, down from the original $4 million implied valuation.

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