Goverre, the company that makes chic portable stemless wine glasses with a silicone sleeve and a drink-through lid, was pitched on Shark Tank in April. The two friendly founders of Goverre, Regan Kelaher and Shannon Zappala of San Marcos, California, accepted a $200,000 investment from three Sharks — Mark Cuban, Robert Herjavec and Lori Greiner — in exchange for 33.3 percent equity. (They came into the Tank seeking $200k for 13 percent.)
Since Shark Tank, Goverre has partnered with VinGardeValise® which makes wine suitcases that are designed with special compartments for holding and protecting bottles of wine while traveling (see below). Shark Tank will return to ABC in the Fall with Season 9 guest sharks Virgin’s Richard Branson, Skinny Girl’s Bethenny Frankel and former New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez, among other successful celebrity business people. Note: When the Shark Tank episode re-airs on August 19, Goverre is offering 10 percent off online sales, use code: SHARKTANK.
