@robertherjavec@kevinolearytv And then… we had a deal! 🎉
After negotiating, Allison and I met at 11%, and I walked out of the Tank with a dream partner. I can’t even describe the rush, pure founder adrenaline.
And trust me, the Tank was only the beginning. What came next? Can’t wait to share💚👀
Once my pitch ended, I felt this huge wave of relief… but the real moment of truth was still coming: the questions, the reactions, and whether any of the Sharks would bite. 👀👇
@robertherjavec@kevinolearytv Even Robert thought I was crazy, but I knew I had to negotiate. I’ve built this company from the ground up, and I know exactly what @FreestyleSnacks is worth. I knew if I stayed firm, I could bring Allison in at a valuation that made sense.
@ABCSharkTank The Sharks did NOT hold back… and I can’t wait to spill everything. The questions, the reactions, the surprises. 😅🦈
Until then, watch the full episode + snack on our Shark Tank bundle 🫒👇

After three years, three applications, and countless olives… I finally walked into the TANK @ABCSharkTank.
Here’s what happened behind the scenes of @FreestyleSnacks’ Shark Tank pitch 👇
@ABCSharkTank I hit my mark, looked up at the Sharks, and launched into the pitch I’d practiced for weeks. The whole thing was a blur– bright lights, rapid-fire questions, and years of work flashing through my mind.
In that moment, I wasn’t just pitching olives. I was pitching my story.
