Rolo Doc

Rolo Doc on Shark Tank

Social Network App for Doctors - Season 5 - Episode 504

RoloDoc App Seen on Shark Tank Show Season 5 Premiere

 Well what can I say other than the two Doctors fooled the Shark Tank Success Blog. My first impression (always go with your first impression) when trying to uncover who was the last contestant not taking advantage of their pre-Shark Tank Show appearance was for a Doctors App. Who would've thought there would be two other doctors that are also brothers, live in the same State and also started an online business for doctors and patients? I may of picked the wrong Doctors that "really do have a cool social network for patients helping other patients" instead of a Doctors App that connects Physicians, Patients, Pharmacists and Nurses in the form of a Virtual Rolodex App.

It's very interesting what some entrepreneurs do when they get the final call from Shark Tank Producers saying they have beat the odds and will be featured on the show. After waiting several months without telling anyone what happened with the Sharks, and still under contract with ABC, you're now free to tell the world that your Business/Product is going to be on the Best Business Reality Show in History. Some contestants post on their Facebook pages and light up the Twitter feeds, while others take it a step further and get a hold of the Local News Channel always interested in a local business that's made it on the Shark Tank Show. Then there's a small percentage of entrepreneurs that choose not to take advantage of any promoting before the Shark Tank Show. Statistically speaking, this group of entrepreneurs is still batting a perfect 1000 for Not getting a deal on the show, and the Rolo Doc would be no exception.

Patients Like Me

Patients Like Me on Shark Tank

Online Patient Network - Season 5 - Week 1



Online Patient Network "Patients Like Me"
on Shark Tank Season 5 Premiere Show

 If there was ever a great idea on the Shark Tank Show that has the potential to changes lives for the better, Patients Like Me is definitely the "One". When I first read ABC's press release for the Season 5 premiere which gives you very little clues who the new contestants are, I assumed Patients Like Me was a new Doctors App to help them stay in contact with their patients. As good of an idea that I imagined, (any App builders out there?) it doesn't even come close to what Patients Like Me could do to help patients in a way unimaginable before the computer age.

Patients Like Me is a social community with over 220,000 registered members all helping each other with a variety of Medical complications. No matter whom you are or what you have been diagnosed with, there's other patients like you going through the same thing. This entire "free" site not only puts you in touch with other patients, it's also a support system for your loved ones to compare notes and make sure you're getting the best treatment.

This niche social site was started by two Brothers Jamie and Ben Heywood who both are Doctors and MIT Graduates, started Patients Like Me after their own brother Stephen was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's Disease. Sure there's lots of information online, but there was no single place where patients and their families could go and discuss their medical condition. According to the Patients Like Me Website, there's now over 2000 medical conditions now covered and over 1 million treatment & symptom reports available. PatientsLikeMe is also starting an Open Research Exchange where researchers, clinicians, academics and patients can interact and develop more improved outcomes by comparing notes in real time.

So how will "Patients Like Me" do inside the Shark Tank?

Lynnae's Gourmet Pickles

Lynnae's Gourmet Pickles on Shark Tank

Gourmet Pickle's - Season 5 - Episode 504 - Week 1

Lynnae's Gourmet Pickles
Shark Tank Season 5 - Episode 504

 For the most part Specialty Food products seen on the Shark Tank have become very successful, so why not add gourmet pickles to the list. Not just any ole pickle recipe, but a 100 year old secret family recipe passed down from Grandma Toots herself. With two very distinct flavors, "Mrs. Pickles" which is a sweet and sour pickle, and the "Hot Mama" with a little jalapeno added to spice things up, Lynnae's Gourmet Pickle's have been selling like hotcakes.

Lynnae's Gourmet Pickle Business was started by Lynnae Schneller and Aly Cullinane from Tacoma, Washington. The business began in 2011 and mostly sold within the local market before getting a lot of major national attention. Lynnae and Aly so far have been featured in Oprah, Wall Street Journal, Reader's Digest, Ladies Home Journal, USA Today, CNN and now The Shark Tank Show.Read More Here-->>>

Sweet Ballz

Sweet Ballz on Shark Tank Season 5

Cake Balls on Season Premiere Week 1 - Episode 504

Sweet Ballz -Cake Balls
Season Premiere
Shark Tank Season 5

 With a name like Sweet Ballz, you best have some big balls to back it up if you're going on the Shark Tank Show. James McDonald is the man behind Sweet Ballz which makes some of the sweetest cake balls you have ever tasted. In fact McDonald's Ballz are so good they are already available in over 5000 stores.

According to the Sweet Balls website, they are available in over 4000 7-11 Stores which will certainly add a lot of credibility to the cake ball business. Adding an additional 1000 store is enough to sweeten this deal even further and possibly enough too get the Sharks to invest in this growing company.

But my question would be with already making thousands of sweet ballz on a daily basis, why are they not available online? If Shark Tank contestants can sell cakes and even ice cream online to coincide with their appearance, why can't you sell Cake Balls? Hard telling how much this will cost the bottom line in a missed opportunity after 7+ million people see the Sweet Balls on National TV. Who knows, maybe James will read this and still have enough time putting together a "Shark Tank Special" available online before Season 5 premiere begins.

Post Card on the Run

Postcard On The Run on Shark Tank

Make Your Own Postcards - Season 5 - Episode 504 - Season Premiere 9/20/2013

Inventor Josh Brooks with his business partner and
Celebrity Star Selina Gomez

 The producers are wasting no time getting Shark Tank Season 5 kicked off with some great products along with a few celebrities that have invested in them. PostCard On The Run is another App featured on the show where you can take any picture from your smart phone, have it made into a postcard and sent anywhere in the world. In addition, you can also add audio and video via a scan bar or website link.

The Post Card On The Run Business has already seen a great deal of success prior to being featured on the Shark Tank, but after season 5 premiere's, something tells me this company is about to get a whole lot more valuable.

Prior to the filming for episode 504, Postcard On The Runs owner Josh Brooks has already raised $1.6 million in two rounds of financing. The last round was held in 2011 when Josh raised an additional $750k including an investment from Celebrity Selena Gomez. This seems to be a great match as Gomez is not only an investor, but really likes the product and has been active promoting the product. With over 16 million followers on Twitter (geese), Selena would certainly make a great business partner for getting your product noticed.Read More Here-->>>
