How many of you are a fan of the TV show Shark Tank? Well today's guests were on Shark Tank last year and did extremely well.
In today's episode we hear all about that experience, how it was the most nerve wracking day of their lives but what it has done in exposure for their business.
Glen and Julie-Anne Mayer are the proud creators of Subo - The Food Bottle.
They have three beautiful children, who at one point were all under the age of four.
Feeding on the go had always been especially challenging for the Mayer's; how do you quickly feed three kids less than four years old, nutritious meals, that won't cause a wasteful mess?
The inventive pair tried every reusable container available and soon learned that the squeeze pouches were definitely not the way to go. Their kids were able to create a 'squeezey' mess - guaranteed havoc!
Enter the, 'in the shower' eureka moment that would change the lives of the Mayer family forever. They invented a suction-based, non-squeezable food bottle with a moveable platform that children could use easily, without squeezing their food all over themselves.
Back in 2012, the Mayer's created some prototypes of their own and gave them out to friends and family who were completely blown away by the concept. Now they've found a local manufacturer and are producing Subos at an amazing rate and the rest is history...
You can connect with the Mayer's at suboproducts.com.au or on social media @suboproducts.
