Oogie Bear Before Shark Tank

Nina started this Oogie Solutions company in March 2015 and that too happened by accident. With this business, the childhood story of Nina and her three children is hidden.

Cold and flu season is a bad time for young children as children have to travel in many things in this season.

The same thing happened with Nina’s children, after the cold and flu season came, their children started living in discomfort and upset, Especially this is a bad time for children.

Because in this session, the children’s noises are blocked by boggers and they are not able to breathe properly. Due to this, small children cry a lot and they have a lot of breathing problems at night time.

Nina is a doctor, and she found that there are many children who are facing breathing problems because of boogers, so Nina invented Oogiebear.

Gradually it started developing more baby care products including balms, teethers, toothbrushes, and other products.

How Was The Shark Tank Pitch Of Oogie Bear?

Husband and wife Sina Farzin and Nina Farzin entered Shark Tank with their business, Oogie Bear, and asked the sharks for $400,000 for 5% equity at an $8 Million Valuation. The sharks were completely astonished to hear this is a huge valuation.

Both of them told Shark about their business journey. Nina said that she accidentally became a businesswoman. It was a really good pitch in Shark Tank in the first episode.

This product has a making and landing cost of between $2 – $4 and is sold for $12.99 – $24.99. This product’s merging is pretty high. Robert says it’s a great margin.

Mr. Wonderful wants to know about the sales, then Nina says that till now 1 million units have been sold. This business was started in 2015 and by 2022 its total revenue has been over $15 million.

Kevin liked the sale of Nina’s business and offered him $400k for a 10% equity at a $4 Million Valuation.

Daymond John said that he has no expertise in this baby care category, but if the other shark is right for it, then he is out.

Lori said that this product has a competitor. In this, Nina said that she is a pharmacist and she has not found any product in this category in the market. She holds the Utility Patent and Design Patent for this product. It is available on Amazon, which gives them 76% sales.

Lori found this business idea very interesting and made an offer of $400k for 10% equity, Lori wanted Mark to join her. Mark told Lori that if it is 12% then he will be involved in this deal.

What Happened To OogieBear After Shark Tank?

Oogie Bear is an innovative product that has created a new category. Nina started her business with just $22,000 in 2015 and is on track to generate $15 million by 2022.

In Shark Tank, a survey was conducted about the baby’s booger problem, in which 81% of Americans said that it is a big problem for the baby.

There is not much product in the market to solve this baby’s booger problem, so the sales of OogieBear grew in such a short time.

After creating a new successful business, there are many people started copying it, so Nina kept the utility patent and design patent of all the products.

This company’s baby care product is available on its website as well on Amazon, Walmart, Buy Buy Baby, Target, and Nordstrom. In this September 2022 report, 76% of the sales of this company come only through Amazon.
