Mark Tsigounis, founder of Swiss Army Tool of Insulated bottles company Hibear, asked the Sharks for $150k for 5% equity at a $3 Million Valuation after entering Shark Tank Season 15 Episode 19.

He launched a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter on September 8, 2020, raising $98,357 in 30 days. By July 2021, all backers had received the All-Day Adventure Flask product, which was officially announced on Kickstarter.
Many backers from 2021-2023 have commented that they have not received the product yet. Reno Seed invested $150,000 in this company in a pre-seed round in July 2021.
