It’s not really surprising that our cell phones have 18 times more bacteria than a bathroom surface, when you really think about it. But do consumers really care to fix that?
Two cousins from Provo, Utah pitched their product PhoneSoap, a sanitizer/charger for cell phones that uses UV light to clean phones, to the Shark Tank investors.
When Investment Rhymes with Canada
Canada has a proud history of achievement in the areas of science and technology, and the field of biomanufacturing and life sciences is no exception.
At first the idea doesn’t seem to appeal to most of the investors, but then Mark Cuban takes a shift and approaches it as a good potential option for hospitals. Lori Greiner, on the other hand, jumps at the chance for this device to be more for consumers and appear on QVC.
PhoneSoap finally made a deal with Greiner for $300,000 in exchange for 10% of equity stake in their company.
Even though Cuban didn’t get the deal, would a device like this be practical in a hospital?
