‘Shark Tank’ Season 11 Episode 14: Fans love Lori Greiner and Katrina Lake's team up, demand more women on show
ABC’s ‘Shark Tank’ is not just about the best business ideas and innovative products but also for giving every aspiring entrepreneur an equal opportunity to shine. With leading fem-preneurs like Lori Greiner and Barbara Corcoran already on the panel, it makes us realize that this show can offer a lot of support to female innovators. After all, in times like today, women pulling up other women, is a great inspiration for the rest.
Particularly, in Episode 14, Season 11, when guest shark Katrina Lake, joined the show. It added more weight to the other women on the panel. Lake is the founder and CEO of Stitch Fix. Seeing this, fans wanted more of such girl power on the show, especially on the investor side.
One fan on Twitter commented, “It'd be great to see an episode of @SharkTankABC where all the sharks were women. There's definitely a large enough group of women #SharkTank alumni at this point.”
And they aren’t wrong. Over the years, we have seen many female investors and entrepreneurs join the show and close remarkable deals and support budding SMEs, some of which are established businesses today. So, if all of those sharks come together on the show, it might make more female entrepreneurs participate.
This particular episode was almost a great example, where fans cheered the female sharks, Greiner and Lake. “Woohoo! Congrats @LoriGreiner and @kmlake ! So awesome! #GirlPower #SharkTank”, tweeted a fan.
Greiner and Lake earned applause from fans when they closed a deal with Pair Eyewear, an eyewear brand for children, where kids could have interchangeable frames by only tapping at them. Despite being a great idea, their sales weren’t great and that made Mark Cuban and Kevin O’Leary walk out of the deal. But Greiner and Lake decided to take the plunge and made an offer of $400,000.
As the guest shark made her first deal, fans cheered the partnership and commented, “How amazing!!! @LoriGreiner @kmlake ! They HAVE TO do the deal!! What a #DREAM TEAM! #SharkTank #pair”
Even Kevin O’Leary welcomed Katrina Lake and appreciated her first deal with a tweet, saying, "Ahhhh nothing like watching a guest shark make their first deal on #sharktank. Congrats@kmlake, you're officially swimming with the big fish!”
‘Shark Tank’ Season 11 now airs every Friday night, 8pm/7c, only on ABC.
