We all love our pets. They are part of the family. We also love to spoil them. So when it comes to getting them a new toy, blanket, bed, food bowl or anything else you want something special, right? Well, PrideBites.com is here to help you be the best pet owner possible by providing personalized items for your pets. 

PrideBites was started in 2012 by 4 college friends out of their apartment living room. They have since raised money from several angel investors, been on Shark Tank, setup manufacturing in China and created a multi-million dollar company.

In this interview I spoke with Steven about his company, why he started it, the unique manufacturing challenges they had to overcome, his amazing experience on Shark Tank, the post-Shark Tank effect in terms of rapid growth acceleration, how the company is doing today, his advice for selling online vs retail and much more.
