Founder Story:

The founders of this campsite must-have product, are Brent Davidson and Bryan Cantrell who came up with the idea for this portable campfire after looking and experimenting with the wastage created by their first business venture Fleur de Spa. To their surprise, this experimental product was a success and soon became a reality and was loved by the customers.

The experiment they carried out was rather simple. After trying out the idea of creating giant wax candles out of the excess wax, this turned out to be a messy and bulky task, so Bryan tried to combine wax and paper in an old cookie tin, and finally, the idea was born.

Did Radiate get a deal on Shark Tank?

The team of radiate is successful in heating up the pitch in front of the sharks. The two founders enter the shark tank seeking an investment of $50,000 for 20%. The company starts by explaining the history behind the product and lights up a box of radiate to show a demo. The next thing, that happens is the samples are distributed and Robert lights up his campfire. Next, the manufacturing cost and selling price of the product is disclosed.

Lori believes that the six hours of burn time Is too short. While the other sharks disagree and say that six hours is a long time. One of the sharks compares the radiate product to that of Instafire. The sharks are told that Instafire is a product that starts a traditional fire but does not replace it. Till today the team at radiate has successfully shipped 11,000 units of the product out of which 400 the units were sold as part of the Kickstarter campaign and crowdfunding.

The sharks are curious and have a range of questions to ask the pair. Lori was the first one to ask whether they have a campfire, the answer is yes. Robert wants to know whether the product is allowed to be used where campfires are prohibited, the answer is mostly yes, Finally, Barbara wants to know whether the box gets hot. The answer is yes, they have put a warning sign on the box for the same.
