I saw this episode of Shark Tank when the Urbio was on, so I am absolutely THRILLED to be a part of a giveaway for one! I wish all of you the best of luck – I would love for someone from Optimistic Mommy to win! 🙂
Meet Urbio
Review by Liz of WomanlyWoman.com
I seriously have fallen in love with My Urbio urban vertical garden. It’s not just because I had the chance to email with Beau (in the video) and find out how passionate he is about his product. (I love entrepreneurs!) It’s because the product really is as cool as it seems. Here are some images Beau gave me to share with everyone:
Seriously, the creativity with this product is endless. Beau sent me a My Happy Family (value $175). What a generous dude! The package includes:
I seriously almost took another picture, but you know what… it actually looks exactly like that right now. No change. To me, that means it works. It really does the job. It stores my Mary Kay, a hair brush, some plants, and my curling iron. I can also add some cute magnets to decorate the wall!
My boyfriend will get frustrated with me if I don’t say it was quite a bit of work for him. The reason it was work is because our building was probably built in the 1940s. As a result, the walls are plaster. The hardware included with the Urbio would be great for any normal urban apartment. I am pretty sure I could have installed it myself if it were drywall. The instructions were great and very detailed. Everything you need is in the kit except for your basic tools (e.g. a drill). The website is also very helpful regarding tips on how to use the Urbio.
To sum it up: I highly recommend it! 🙂
As Seen on Shark Tank
Urbio was in Season 4, Epsiode 14 of Shark Tank. Here is information about the episode:
ENTREPRENEUR: Beau Oyler & Jared Aller
PITCH: Urbio
ASKING FOR: $300k for a 12% stake
BEST PART OF THE PITCH: Beau and Jared put their minds together to come up with a way for those who live in smaller homes to have indoor plants. They created a modern, vertical garden that’s a fully modular system designed to fit on any wall. Magnets allow the plant holders to attach to any metal surface including their own metal wall plates. They’ve had a great response and have sold in 50 different countries. They have $125k in sales in the first four months.
DO THE SHARKS BITE? Mark has actually been contacted by Beau and Jared before. Because he knows more about the investment than the other sharks do, he feels compelled to disqualify himself from the negotiations right away. In other words, he’s out. Kevin offers the guys $300k for 20%. Robert offers them $400k for 20%. $300k of that is for the equity and the other $100k is to hire someone to run the business fulltime. Daymond would want to ask for way more than what his fellow sharks are offering, so he’s out. Lori offers them $300k for 20%. Kevin tries to steer them away from Lori by calling QVC’s audience old. Lori says, “Sometimes you remind me of a golf ball
I’m a 20-something stay-at-home mother and wife. I have an amazing husband, a beautiful daughter, two loving dogs, and a lazy cat. I wouldn’t change my life for anything! I love to read, listen to music, cook and blog!
I really like this Urbio, would come in handy for my materials in my office, also its cool they had this on the show Shark Tank!
I love these Urbio containers. They are very versatile for either work or home.
I really like this. I seen it when they had it on Shark Tank and I knew it would be a good product. I have arthritis and it is hard for me to garden anymore so this would work out so much better. No getting up and down from your knees etc. Hope I win this!
i have never seen the show but these look so great!!
I LOVE Shark Tank! Even my kids get into the show – Maybe it will get the creative juices rolling and we can invent something..definitely LOVE the Urbio! Hope I win!
