Lori Greiner Reveals Which ‘Shark Tank’ Pitcher She Is Close To
Few television shows have changed lives the way Shark Tank has over the years. The program has given entrepreneurs the chance to pitch their ideas in front of multiple successful businesspeople with the hopes of finding investors who believe in them. Some of these items get large offers and make it big. Others might not get a dime, but they still get the exposure. Plenty of household names were once featured on the show. One of the “sharks” is Lori Greiner, aka the Queen of QVC. During one episode, Greiner invested in a product that’s now seen in stores around the globe. What’s even more amazing is Greiner and the entrepreneur she believed in are still close.
Who Is Lori Greiner Still Exceptionally Close To?
The sharks sit through tons of pitches every season. However, back in Season 4, a man named Aaron Krause came to the set, pitching his product. Krause was the creator of none other than Scrub Daddy, one of the most popular kitchen cleaning items in the world. Greiner invested in the product, shelling out $200,000 for 20% of the company. These days, the company has done more than $200 million in lifetime sales.
The fact that Greiner and Krause are still quite close today makes this story more heartfelt. The pair’s families even vacation and spend the holidays together. Greiner recently opened up about it with People. The investor said:
Not only am I super close to him and his family, I’ve gone on vacations with them, I have had holidays with them, they’ve enriched my life by who they are and that friendship.
How Does Lori Greiner Feel About The Scrub Daddy Product?
Knowing that the pair remain such good friends definitely is helped by how much money the product has made. But Greiner also said she enjoyed Krause’s pitch, as he seemed like a really good guy. Greiner is known for investing in products that help people out. The product has to be useful, and there have to be jobs created for individuals around the world. Greiner explained:
It has changed his entire life, his family’s life, but we give back. We have factories we’ve built all over the world that are giving back to now other cultures as well. And it’s all really about helping people.

The idea that starting a business can help more than just you is one of the reasons fans of Shark Tank love Greiner so much. She stays true to herself and loves helping out however she can. With his newfound wealth, there’s a chance Krause appears on the show at some point as an investor. For now, the two remain just friends and business partners.
