Yubo is a line of personalized lunchboxes that eliminate the need for plastic baggies and is dishwasher safe. It comes with food containers and an ice-pack, and kids can change the look of their Yubo lunchbox with interchangeable “faceplate” designs. The founders of Yubo, husband and wife team Paul and Cindy Pedrazzi, pitched her business on Shark Tank in November 2013. They went into the Tank seeking an investment of $150,000 in exchange for 15 percent equity. They made a deal with Robert Herjavec and Kevin O’Leary — $150k for 20 percent, which dropped to 10 percent if they paid them back in 18 months.
