Week 3 Winner Announced! Curo Homes vs Poolside Creations

Stephanie and Michael threw all the rules out.  They went bullish on a market with high demand and high competition....and they are killing it!  They have launched Poolside Creations in the unbreakable wine glass market and did 6 figures in 2017.  They pitch what's next and tell the judges what they will do with the $10k prize money, if they win.

Curo Home is based in Incline Village, Nevada, which is quite exciting because that's the Northern side of Lake Tahoe, which of course, the lake splits between California and Nevada so now we're starting to service clients in both states. What we provide is concierge task management services for the vacation home owners and short term renters in the area. We're the ones going out, we're picking up the groceries, we're getting the mail, we're bringing that in, we're opening up the homes for them, for any renters that come in the area or even helping them schedule their vacations to ensure seamless transition between them coming up from wherever they're coming and then staying in the area and going on with their vacation in the area.

Greg Mercer and Michael Jackness discuss the pitches they've heard from The Mason Jar Handle and Sleepy Stroll and pick the weekly winner.

Sleepy Stroll was developed when Alexey's wife noticed that every time she put their baby in the stroller, as soon as the wheels would hit our pavers in our driveway, the baby would calm down and fall asleep.  An idea was born. She couldn’t take the baby everyday on these walks obviously, just due to the weather. She thought about an idea of something that might work on the wheel of the stroller.

We are here to talk to you about the Mason Jar Handle, which relates to a very iconic product, an iconic piece of drink ware.  The mason jar was invented in the 1800s by John Landis Mason. If you drink hot or cold drinks out of a mason jar you’re gonna burn your hands, you’re going to get them wet with condensation and they make jars with handles, as I’m sure plenty of people have seen.  But you can’t really can with those. There is a tremendous market of people who purchase jars and drink with jars.
