Kind of under the radar. No advertisement, no mention on Food Network’s website etc…… but we were selected to go to NY and pitch to Lifetime Brands. The show was picked up by Food Network and a series now produced (with a new name – Invention Hunter’s). We are very pleased to have been included in the new full series.

We also changed our name since the show was originally taped and aired. We have rebranded to the name suggested through the efforts of the original show and the team at Swerve – Air Cork.

As you may have seen on the show, Lifetime Brands was interested in licensing our product. As of this writing, we have not licensed the Air Cork. All involved in the show and the team at Lifetime Brands have been fantastic to get to know. We’ve established some very positive relationships with them all.

The Air Cork is still owned by the original ownership team ! Thanks for the positive feedback and support.

We’ve been working on the conversion and rebranding for several months and are very pleased to announce this new direction for our product.  Yes, it sure is a big deal to change the name once you get some traction in the industry but we feel the change will be for the better.

Last summer we had the opportunity to work with the very talented folks at Swerve in New York.  From that effort, a new name, look and feel for the product were discovered.

Thank you to all of our customers who have ‘tried something new’, tweeted about us and shared us with friends and family across the country and around the world.  The support from our design group and web development team has been tremendous (please let us know if you’d like their contact information).

As we prepare for the upcoming International Home and Housewares show in Chicago next week, Air Cork is poised and ready for explosive growth.

We’re always looking for your continued feedback!

Thanks again,

Eric and the Air Cork Team.

You are obviously all very passionate inventors and entrepreneurs. It was a flurry of activity at the peak. We are still in control of the company but still in touch with the Sharks. You never know what the future holds. We’d still like to partner. We shall see.

Our segment airs tonight on ABC’s Shark Tank. Can’t tell the outcome ahead of time but it has been a lot of fun meeting so many intelligent and driven individuals. The product is now on the verge of getting the boost it needs. If you have an idea or product, keep the faith and make it happen.
