Morninghead Shark Tank Pitch

Max Valverde enjoys showering at night and skipping a morning shower but has found it difficult to fix his bedhead. Max created Morninghead, a cap that can be wetted and used to moisten one's hair in a contained environment for easy hair cleanup.

Morninghead has been in business for 18 months and has done $36k in sales. Max hopes to roll out a subscription plan. Max is a mechanical engineer for his day job and has many inventions on his mind.

The sharks all think Morninghead is a gimmick with minimal potential, and Max should try pursuing one of his other ideas. All sharks go out.

in 2014 he stopped working on Morninghead, but his wife took over the business. Max went on to work as an early employee with a booking company called FareHarbor. Max worked his way through different roles up to CEO and in 2018 FairHarbor was acquired by Booking.com for an estimated $300 million according to skift.com
