Arik Nordby and Ryan Walther of Minneapolis, Minnesota pitched their gag gift box company Prank-O on Shark Tank in December 2018. The boxes appear like products you see promoted as “As Seen on TV” but there’s nothing inside. You can give the gag as is or use it as a gift box and put “a real gift” inside for the ultimate gag.
They went into the Tank seeking an investment of $640,000 in exchange for 8 percent equity and accepted an offer from billionaire Mark Cuban: $640k for 25 percent.
