[Music]

aloha sharks i'm cassidy crowley and i'm

lori crowley cassidy's mom and we're

from honolulu hawaii i'm seeking fifty

thousand dollars in exchange for fifty

percent of my company wow sharks i love

to create an event when i was seven

years old my baby sister emily

would always plant her spoon

and my mom would always get worried that

she might accidentally poke or snap her

through

so i wanted to create a product that

eliminated that long and sharp design of

a traditional spoon so i invented the

baby team the baby tube is a combination

of a baby spoon and it's either 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 so

it's gentle on babies 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

baby team 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

together we can bring baby tunes to

every baby in the world

oh my gosh so we have some samples you'd

like to pass out two sharks

how old was cassidy i'm 10. she's 10. 10

going on 34. oh are we gonna eat

this is for lori

that's for me

okay should i feed laurie

we brought from hawaii we have poi which

is a hawaiian baby food

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 seven years old then we

have actually my sample if you guys want

to see it too we do 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 yeah we sell

our products so since september of 2018

we had five thousand dollars in sales

wow thank you what does it cost our

total cost is six dollars and sixty

cents and you sell it for how much we

sell it for fifteen dollars

for you

cassie are you gonna be a superstar at

your school because you were on shark

tank

well that's obviously not why i'm here

oh even better answer

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 it's 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 gonna go very very far

this was three years ago and you didn't

give up you know

manufacturing can be very tricky

i find it fascinating that you

pulled this up well actually just

recently we had to change the durometer

of silicone we're using so we had to

lower it so we'll change what change the

durometer what's the durometer durometer

is how you measure the firmness of

silicone for example if you have

something that's a higher durometer who

are you lady

exactly if you have something that's

higher durometer silicone it's going to

be more stiff and hard and if you have

something that's a lower durability of

silicone it's going to be more flexible

cassie 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

uh i'd be very delighted but in those

reasons you're so impressive but i don't

understand the baby space and for those

reasons i'm out

thank you so much
