Shark Tank Key Art

Friday night on ABC means another round of hopeful entrepreneurs swimming with the Sharks. This week’s episode features a diverse array of products, from AI-powered college admissions assistance to a rather unusual soap. First up, ESAI, aims to take some of the sting out of the costly college application process with an AI tool. Then, Mirai Clinical presents a Japanese persimmon soap that’s gentle on the skin. Rounding out the pitches are Cricket’s Candy Creations, featuring edible candy crafts for the creative kid, and Morrison Outdoors, with a line of sleeping bags designed just for children.

Will any of these entrepreneurs manage to snag a deal? Or will they leave the Tank empty-handed? As always, the Sharks are ready to pounce on any weakness in a pitch, but also to offer their wisdom (and sometimes, their cash) to those they deem worthy. Tune in to ABC this Friday, May 9th at 8:00 PM ET to witness the high-stakes negotiations.
