Popup Play Shark Tank Update

Popup Play Shark Tank Pitch

Amelia Cosgrove and Bryan Thomas appeared on Shark Tank Season 8, Episode 14, which aired on January 26, 2017, with service that lets kids design and build their own playhouse.

Popup Play is listed in the Children category. In plain terms, the business is described as service that lets kids design and build their own playhouse.

Popup Play asked the Sharks for $250,000 for 6%, implying a valuation of about $4.2 million.

On the show, Popup Play made a listed deal for $250,000 as a convertible note with a $3 million cap.

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