History by Mail is a subscription service that sends copies of old historical documents to people every month, depending on their package. Each package includes a historical document along with a short explanation to teach people about history in a fun and engaging way.
Entrepreneur Ari Siegel came up with this business idea when he saw handwritten letters from U.S. presidents at the Library of Congress. He wanted to give people the experience of real letters and documents.
Ari Siegel appeared on Shark Tank Season 16 to seek funding for his business and asked the Sharks for an investment. Let’s find out if any of the Sharks showed interest in investing in his business.
