Auditions were held this past summer at the Milwaukee Art Museum. We arrived at 5:30 AM and were number 70 in line. More than half of the participants in line in front of us spent the night. A total of 220 participants auditioned. There was nobody chosen although we thought we should have made the cut with an interesting pitch. We were however featured in an audition promo that is on the show from time to time.

Interesting fact: 40,000 participants have auditioned, 180 have made it to the show.

One of my favorites. Purses that stored, wine, beer, etc. with the spout disguised as a decorative flower.

Ball for walking on water

Great way to pass time using the PadStand iPad case tucked under the handle turning my roller travel bag into a portable desk. This worked out great as I packed a dozen PadPort products for my pitch in my travel bag.

This was our banner printed specifically for the Shark Tank Audition. Due to time limits we were only able to show 3 of our 12 products. We are sure we would have made the cut if they were able more of our products, many of which are patented. We did however get much more time and were one of the few presentations that was filmed from beginning to end.

Great experience!
