What was it like balancing your co-founder/CEO duties while taking on a project like Shark Tank? Just like anything else during the pandemic, there were quite a few hoops to jump through and adjustments to make in order to appear on Shark Tank, but we got through it. Justin: As someone who has never been in front of the camera before, the pressure was on to be a good representative for LARQ on TV. I dedicated 2-3 hours a day to Shark Tank Prep over the next couple of months. SHARK TANK – Season 12 Episode 21 (ABC) JUSTIN WANG, CEO & Co-founder of LARQ How did you feel about being on television? Justin was doing “Shark Tank Bootcamp”, if you will, to prepare for the taping of the show. We even carefully studied the negotiation tactics and Q&A patterns of the sharks and overall, tried to do our best to be prepared. This helped us tailor our pitch to communicate our product innovation, mission, and brand effectively. Justin: To help prepare for the intensity of the tank, our team put up Shark mannequins to crank up the pressure for the rehearsals. Anything to recreate the pressure of the tank helps! Naturally, we all binge-watched the episodes - for research, of course. We were confident that we had an amazing product, innovation, and mission, but we just had to fine-tune our pitch to pique the Sharks’ interests.
Justin: The anticipation during those few months made the news all that much better. We knew a deal on Shark Tank could be potentially game-changing for us and so much was at stake! So, hello to newcomers and ride-or-dies alike! How did you feel after being selected for Shark Tank? As huge fans of Shark Tank, to be selected for it was a huge opportunity for us to grow our brand and advance our mission of eliminating single-use plastics and helping people access clean water easily and sustainably. It’s also an amazing opportunity to get our name out there and to connect with more people around the world. We were ecstatic to be selected for the show. After months of waiting, we finally heard the good news - we were accepted as contestants! We’re confident in our technology and we were so excited to share this with the Sharks. Ever notice mold or algae growth in your current pitcher? Funky taste you can’t quite shake? PureVis™ prevents mold and other bio-contaminants so you can worry less about what’s in your water and focus on your hydration goals. The LARQ Pitcher offers a complete hydration solution that goes beyond filtration using our proprietary PureVis™ UV-C LED technology. LARQ Filters eliminate physical contaminants such as mercury, chlorine, lead, VOCs, and more, but it doesn’t stop there. Justin was stoked to pitch this brand-new product to the Sharks. In addition to the LARQ Bottle, we’ve also been working on something really exciting for the home - the LARQ Pitcher. With LARQ, you don’t have to worry about waterborne bio-contaminants again. Our innovative technology allows anyone to access clean water anytime, anywhere - whether you’re at home, on the go, or even traveling abroad - by eradicating bacteria, viruses & even preventing mold growth.
We hope to do that with our proprietary non-toxic (mercury-free) PureVis™ UV-C LED technology. Our mission is to eliminate the need for single-use plastic bottled water for good.
We had so much fun with it and discussed the benefits of the LARQ Bottle and why we created it. The first step to getting on Shark Tank was to submit an audition video featuring Justin Wang, our co-founder, and CEO. We sat down with Justin to reflect on the crazy months leading up to our Shark Tank premiere - from audition to making the pitch. The show is packed with emotional stories from founders, bickering between the Sharks, inspiring pitches, deal-makers, and so much more. The Sharks are tough multimillionaire and billionaire tycoons that are searching for the best businesses to invest in. “Shark Tank” is a critically acclaimed and multi-Emmy Award-winning reality show that features entrepreneurs in America seeking funding from esteemed investors - known as the “Sharks” on the show. You can also watch Shark Tank on Hulu (subscription required).
