Mother and daughter Amy, Marlo entered Shark Tank with her company Big Bee Little Bee and asked the sharks $100k for a 20% equity. They explained about their business to Shark and told about their journey.

They told Shark about one of their products, Marker Parker, and also explained how it is used. Marlo drew all the sharks with her drawing pen and the shark liked it. Marlo age is 7.5 years.

This marker is Parker’s selling cost of $15 and is made for about $3. They have multiple products in their business but their hero product is silicone scrubbers. Last year they had a sale of $230,000 for the entire business but silicone scrubbers had the highest sales of around 80%.

Their last year gross was $97,000 and they have profitable with $22,000. 2022 This year they has made $110,000 so far but their silicone scrubbers product is not the first half in it. They hasn’t made any profit from their sales so far this year and has lost $77,000.

What Happened To Big Bee Little Bee After Shark Tank?

This business did not get a deal in Shark Tank because the sales of their product were not so effective and they had lost $77k in 2022.

Shark said to the entrepreneur that you should focus on one product and make it successful and then move forward. Due to multiple products, there is a lack of focus in the business, so it is not able to do much sales.

Amy has given very good education to her daughter Marlo. Marlo is a talented kid who is very talented for her age.

We hope Amy will take this shark guide as a challenge and try to steer her business in the right direction.
