Touch Up Cup on Shark Tank – What Happened? (Updated March 2024)

On season 12, episode 1, a memorable father and son team pitched their invention: the Touch Up Cup. Their ask was $150,000 for 10% of their business, or a $1,000,000 (that is one million) dollar valuation. So what happened to this Shark Tank business?

Carson and his dad secured a deal from one of the newer Sharks: Blake Mycoskie. Mycoskie is the founder of Toms Shoes and the source of the “One For One” model of donating a pair for every pair they sold. Now he is working with the Touch Up Cup team to help grow and scale this Shark Tank Season 12 company. Mycoskie provided $150,000 investment for 15% of the business, or a $850,000 valuation.
