[0:00]Next up is a product that began as an elementary school project.
[0:14]Aloha, sharks. I'm Cassidy Crowley. And I'm Laurie Crowley, Cassidy's mom, and we're from Honolulu, Hawaii. I'm seeking $50,000 in exchange for 50% of my company. Wow. Sharks, I love to create an invent. When I was 7 years old, my baby sister, Emily, would always play with her spoon, and my mom would always get worried that she might accidentally poke or stab her throat. So I wanted to create a product that eliminated that long and sharp design of a traditional spoon. So I invented the baby tune. The baby tune is a combination of a baby spoon and a teether all in one. The rectangular body makes it easy for babies to grasp and self-feed. The baby tune is made of 100% soft silicone. There are no sharp edges to jump on baby's gums, and it works great for teething. Sharks, all parents know that babies love throwing their spoons on the floor. Well, we have a solution for this. Just put a pacifier clip around the baby tune. Oh. And attach it to the baby's shirt, no more baby spoons getting thrown on the floor. But wait, there's more. What? The baby tun is made right here in the USA, and it was designed and created by me. So sharks, who's ready to take a bite out of the baby tun? Together, we can bring baby tunes to every baby in the world. Wow.
[1:43]Oh, my gosh. So we have some samples we like to pass out to you sharks. How old was Cassidy? I'm 10. She's 10. 10 going on 34. Oh, are we going to eat?
[1:57]This is for Laurie. Okay. Should I feed Laurie? We brought from Hawaii, we have poi, which is a Hawaiian baby food.
[2:10]How did you come up with the design and what did you do to figure that out? So, in first grade I entered a local science fair, when I was 7 years old, then we have actually my sample if you guys want to see it, it's right here. Oh, wow. So that's your prototype? Yeah, this is the one that I made in first grade. Look at this. I mean, partially why I'm just very thankful I'm here is I want to show other kids that they can be open to opportunities they have at school or even at home to create an event. I just really hope I inspire them. It's a dream come true. So are you selling it already, or is it just? Yeah, we sell our products, so since September of 2018, we had $5,000 in sales. Wow. Thank you. What does it cost? Our total cost is $6.60, and we sell it for how much? We sell it for $15. 15. Cassidy, are you going to be a superstar at your school because you're on Shark Tank? Well, that's obviously not why I'm here. Ah, even better answer. Oh, my gosh, I love you. Even better answer.
[3:13]Cassidy, it's pretty rare that somebody comes in here and offers us 50%. Why did you do that? I mean, let's face it, I'm only 10 years old. I need a partner. I mean, I still have to go to high school. I think you're more of a shark than we are. Cassidy, you've done an amazing, amazing job. I mean, it's incredible. Thank you. To have started a business, to develop a product, to see it through, to make your way here, I mean, just I can't even imagine what's next for you. The challenge I have is just really not a fit for me. So I'm out, but great, great job, Cassidy. Cassidy, I've been doing little businesses since I was a kid. I can already tell from your presence, from your poise, from your grit, that you're going to go very, very far. This was 3 years ago and you didn't give up. You know, manufacturing can be very tricky. I find it fascinating that you push, pulled this off. Well, actually, just recently, we had to change your durometer of silicone we're using. So we had to lower it. Did you change what? Change the durometer of silicone. What's the durometer? Durometer's how you measure the firmness of silicone. For example, if you have something that's a higher durometer, it's going to be more stiff and hard. Who are you, lady? If you have something that's a higher durometer of silicone, it's going to be more stiff and hard, and if you have something that's a lower durometer of silicone, it's going to be more flexible. Cassidy, do you have a patent on it? Yeah, we have our patents right here, actually. Wow. Cassidy, I am beyond impressed. I know you're not allowed to do this in the United States of America, but if in 20 years you want to marry one of my kids, I'll be very delighted. But in all seriousness, you're so impressive. But I don't understand the baby space, and for those reasons, I'm out. Thank you.
[4:59]Cassidy, I'm torn because I don't feel that you're willing to quit elementary school. I can go straight to college.
[5:12]Oh, yes. Honestly, I don't want you to quit school. It's a little early. I'm out. Cassidy, this is a great product. You just absolutely blow me away. You said you always wanted to go on Shark Tank, and I'm so proud if we had any part in your wanting to become an entrepreneur. So guess what, young lady? I'm going to make you an offer. Because I have to be along with this journey. I'm giving you 50,000 for 50%. Wow.
[5:49]Laurie, you have a deal. Congratulations.
[5:57]Oh, my gosh. You are just amazing, amazing.
[6:04]High five.
[6:07]I'll see you soon. Cassidy, before you leave, come up here, sit in the shark chair. Oh, yes. That's where you're going. Let's see you. How does it feel? Cassidy, Cassidy. Cassidy, look at Kevin and say, "You're dead to me." Congrats, Cassidy. Thank you.
[6:31]Thank you, guys.
[6:36]I can't believe we got a deal. What's fascinating about Shark Tank is I have four kids. My youngest is 6 years old, and she gets glued to the TV. It's very engaging. Isn't it amazing? It's amazing.
