9 Strap Shark Tank Update

9 Strap Shark Tank Pitch

Ryan and Alyson Vaughn appeared on Shark Tank Season 17, Episode 16, which aired on April 1, 2026, with Bat-hand strap for swing control and safety.

9 Strap is listed in the Technology category. In plain terms, the business is described as Bat-hand strap for swing control and safety.

9 Strap asked the Sharks for $360,000 for 9% equity, implying a valuation of about $4 million.

On the show, 9 Strap made a listed deal with Kevin O'Leary for $800,000 for 20% equity + $2 royalty until 3X return.

If treated as straight equity, the listed deal works out to about $4 million implied valuation, roughly the same implied valuation as the ask.

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