When Slyde Handboards secured 200k investment on Shark Tank, from Ashton Kutcher & Mark Cuban Companies, they were one of the first major media company to cover the STORY:
The Headline Read: "A couple who put their life savings into a surf business can't keep up with demand after Mark Cuban and Ashton Kutcher invested $200,000"
The Business Insider steps inside both the business and personal aspects of Steve & Angela Watts entrepreneurial journey.
"To get the company rolling, the couple lived off credit-card debt (which they're still paying off) and didn't pay themselves a salary.
They applied three times to "Shark Tank," and when they finally were accepted, their total sales from 2011 to the first half of 2015 were $356,000, and they expected to end 2015 with $295,000 in annual revenue."
