Forte3D Shark Tank Pitch

Mike Block, Alfred Goodrich, and Elijah Lee appeared on Shark Tank Season 17, Episode 6, which aired on November 12, 2025, with 3D-printed string instruments.

Forte3D is listed in the Consumer Products category. In plain terms, the business is described as 3D-printed string instruments.

Forte3D asked the Sharks for $250,000 for 10% equity, implying a valuation of about $2.5 million.

On the show, Forte3D made a listed deal with Lori Greiner for $250,000 for 16% equity.

If treated as straight equity, the listed deal works out to about $1.6 million implied valuation, down from the original $2.5 million implied valuation.

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