I’ve been looking forward to this episode for a while now! It seems like it will be a long week for me, can’t imagine how you are feeling Kiers! This should be fun and exciting!

WOW! This is big news! Congratulations!

-- John from Horse Shoe

cool. I watched it on friday night and the one product they liked but did not give any money to was an “extreme pogo stick”. They liked the fact that it stood out from other pogo stick’s and thought it should not be made into a mass marketed product.
I hope that does happen with you, your stuff looks really cool.
Actually you can tell us if they gave you money cant you? lol

Wow…we have a real celebrity amongst us…:P Way to go..this week is going to seem like its going to drag on forever.

I like the boxes you have for sale…nice colors.

That sounds awesome. I’ll put it on my calendar.

Fantastic. Awesome job!!!

Congratulations. I saw you on Shark Tank, and you got the $$$$$.

-- Jeff, CT - better late then never

Very interesting. I really like your plan to have Amish manufacturing make your product. It appears that you have a good margin. You did a great job of presenting your proposal. I hope you do very well.

Congratulations my friend !!! Best wishes on expanding your business : )

I wasn’t familiar with the format and looked a way at the wrong tiime. I thought it was going to be a contest where the best presenter won at the end. What kind of deal did you take?

-- "some old things are lovely, warm still with life ... of the forgotten men who made them." - D.H. Lawrence Wake Up America!! Please read; http://www.commondreams.org/view/2009/01/26-0

Congratulations. Glad to see that you didn’t pay the royalty upfront. It would have killed your cash flow and forced you to sell him more equity. You definitely chose the right deal.

-- Jack T, John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life."

for anyone that missed the episode last night, it can be watched here on Hulu!
Congratulations Kiersten!

Since this was filmed/the deal was made back in October, I think we are all curious as to how things are going. Please lay it on us.

I watched the episode last night. Good presentation, good decision, good luck with your endeavor.

Congratulations!!

I so happy for you! I have not watched it yet as my wife and I will watch it later today together. Darryl thx for posting the link I forget to set it up on my DVR last night….. I look fwd to watching it and good luck on everything.

Your fellow, “City of Angels” neighbors!

-- Ken, "Everyday above ground is a good day!"

Just watched the show. Wow, is that exciting! Congratulations!! Best of luck, but I bet your hard work and dedication will work the best for you. So cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it.

Thanks everyone!! Check out http://www.modmomfurniture.blogspot.com for what happened AFTER the Tank.

Also, I have been partners with my Amish manufacturer for a few months now and it’s fantastic! I was already partnering with him when I filmed Shark Tank (read about that on my blog). I’m running the business and going back to all those retailers and other high-end modern retailers in the US and Canada and letting them know I can finally get them product! For me, thankfully, I’m now out of the actual building of everything and letting Ray and his team handle everything from the construction standpoint. They’re amazing—Amish heirloom construction, ability to build 100s per day, eco-friendly materials, and still made in the USA!! Can’t get better than that! And I still get to design everything the way I normally do—- which is by actually building the prototypes myself.

Thanks for all your support!! What an incredible ride!!!
