PullyPalz is a line of stuffed animals with a built-in pulley system that holds pacifiers. When the stuffed animal is attached to the handle of a car seat or the railing of a crib it gives an infant access to two pacifiers and keeps the pacifiers from falling on the ground. Inventor Julie Thompson pitched PullyPalz on Shark Tank in 2015. She went into the Tank seeking a $100,000 investment in exchange for 20 percent equity. She left the Tank with a $100k investment from the Queen of QVC Lori Greiner in exchange for 28 percent.
PullyPalz is still available online through Walmart and Amazon (see link above) but the website is no longer active and the Facebook and Instagram accounts have gone quiet — not having been updated since May 2016. 2paragraphs tried to reach Thompson but did not receive a response regarding the company’s status.
