Halloween Moments debuts on Shark Tank

On Friday’s broadcast of Shark Tank, Daryl Braithwaite pitched the Halloween Moments Pumpkin Scraper Gloves. The entrepreneur from Texas refers to himself as the “Big D.” He asked for a $300,000 investment for 10% equity in his brand. Next, he pitched the idea to the Sharks.

Daryl explained what made his gloves different from others on the market. They make it easy to clean the inside of a pumpkin. Sharks Daymond John, Kevin O’Leary, Lori Greiner, and Mark Cuban along with guest Shark Kendra Scott found the product unique. Next, the questions started rolling. They wanted to know how much sales the Pumpkin Scraper Gloves generated.

Daryl started selling the product in late 2021. So far, he didn’t make much from his invention but he was passionate about it. The Sharks wanted to know how much he invested in his company so far. Daryl shocked them when he revealed that he invested $850,000. He explained why he spent so much on his company.

Big D needed the inventory to get started. His company has also been paying royalties to one of his lenders. The Sharks didn’t see anything good from this company due to its low sales and large inventory. They started backing out of the deal.

Daryl Braithwaite learns a valuable lesson

The Shark Tank contender didn’t walk away with a deal. However, he didn’t learn a valuable lesson from this. Both Daymond and Kevin informed him that he put too much money into his company with too much inventory. Daryl needs to figure out the sales figures first.

The Sharks shared an important lesson with Daryl and other aspiring entrepreneurs. No one should invest so much of their capital into inventory without knowing the demand and sales first. The Big D learned from this mistake and will continue to work for his company.

Halloween Moments offers three different Pumpkin Carving Kits. All of them come with the gloves and tools that you need to successfully carve and clean your pumpkin. They also come with directions. Halloween Moments calls itself the “#1 Pumpkin Cleaning & Carving Solution.” They created these products to eliminate the difficulty and mess that comes with pumpkin carving.

It seems like the perfect product to have right now into Thanksgiving. Just because it wasn’t a success on Shark Tank doesn’t mean you can’t purchase it. You can help support this small business. Visit the official Halloween Moments website here for more information.
