Toilet Timer by Katamco on 'Shark Tank': What is its cost, who are the founders and where to buy it
If you ever felt like your loved one spends more time in the bathroom than with you, then a pitch from the upcoming episode of 'Shak Tank' may interest you. For many people, a bathroom is a lot more than just a room to freshen up. For many, it's room to get away from the world and indulge in some alone time, for others it's a perfect space to showcase their hidden singing and dancing talents. Either way, there's no denying that many people spend way more time in this room than they probably should.
In order to ensure that people don't use the bathroom time for procrastinating or just getting away from everything, Adam Stephey and his wife, Katie came up with a unique solution to address it -- Toilet Timer. Through their company, Katamco, these entrepreneurs are selling a product that they claim will not only help you spend less time in the bathroom but will also be a great gift for anybody. Read on to know more about Katamco's toilet timer.

Toilet Timer by Katmaco is just a simple sand timer that's set for five minutes. This sand timer comes in a compact and sturdy packaging that allows the user to carry it with them to the bathroom, and set it up and go about their business.
