Drain Strain at Shark Tank: 

Aimed at saving homeowners from plumbing hassles and expenses, Drain Strain’s products are a practical addition to any household.

Drain Strain pitched on Shark Tank seeking $110,000 for a 15% equity stake, implying a valuation of $733,333 for their company. They struck a deal to get the $110,000 they requested, but for a smaller share of 10% equity, effectively increasing their company’s valuation to $1,100,000.

Drain Strain after Shark Tank: 

Post-Shark Tank, Drain Strain saw its products hit the shelves of major retailers like Home Depot and Amazon, and even expanded its offerings to include the Drain Buddy, catering to both sinks and bathtubs​​​​.

The company, which started with a prototype, has now generated more than $2 million in gross revenue annually and has broadened its market reach by being available on Amazon and its own website under the brand name Drain Buddy​​.

Despite initial hurdles, including a crowdfunding campaign that fell short of its goal, Drain Strain has managed to thrive, illustrating the resilience and adaptability of its founder and the team​​.
