R1SE Shark Tank Update

R1SE Shark Tank Pitch

Trevor Szafranski and Heather Szafranski appeared on Shark Tank Season 17, Episode 15, which aired on March 25, 2026, with After-school academic and recreation centers.

R1SE is listed in the Pet Products category. In plain terms, the business is described as After-school academic and recreation centers.

R1SE asked the Sharks for $300,000 for 10% equity, implying a valuation of about $3 million.

On the show, R1SE made a listed deal with Barbara Corcoran for $300,000 for 15% equity + payback within 3 years.

If treated as straight equity, the listed deal works out to about $2 million implied valuation, down from the original $3 million implied valuation.

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