![]() ![]() Most people are unaware of the problems that gardeners tend to face when it comes to measurements between their plants. Gardening is tough work and requires plenty of measurements to ensure that the plants are evenly spaced, and they won’t die. After deliberation, Maddox accepted Kevin and Lori’s offer. The presentation he gave to the sharks was very impressive, and that’s why Kevin O’Leary and Lori Greiner decided to go together and offer Maddox with $40,000 for a 30% equity share (15% per Shark) in the business. The Sharks loved the product, and they are impressed with Maddox as he is well-spoken and speaks intelligently about his product. The Sharks have different opinions on if they should license their product or manufacture it, and they explain that it all depends on the goals of the family and how involved they are looking to be with the product. The Pritchard family hadn’t begun to manufacture the product as yet, and they are still looking for a partner that will guide them on the proper way to move forward with the company. That was when the Measuring Shovel was born, and it is properly labeled with both length and depth measurements to allow gardeners to use only one tool to ensure that their plants are adequately spaced and planted to promote proper growth. He was tired of helping his mother, Amanda, measure out her plants to ensure they were properly spaced and planted at the right depth to avoid plant death. Maddox created the Measuring Shovel when he was in fourth grade and was tasked with coming up with a product idea that would solve a common problem. He entered the Shark Tank in the hopes of collaborating with a shark who would be willing to invest $40,000 in exchange for a 15% stake in his company. ![]() ![]() That is exactly what thirteen-year-old entrepreneur, inventor, and patent-holder of the Measuring Shovel, Maddox Pritchard found out. It is not as simple as it would seem to you, but once you get into gardening, you realize the complexities that are involved. Gardening requires plenty of hard work, and in some instances, you need to measure the exact distance between the plants to ensure that they are evenly spaced.
