What Happened To Felt After Its Appearance On Shark Tank Season 7? Details Explored

Tomer Alpert pitched his business, Felt, on Shark Tank season 7. Felt is an app that lets users send personalised handwritten cards directly from their smartphones. He was seeking $200,000 for 6% equity on Shark Tank.

The app was available only on Apple devices at the time and was downloaded 60,000 times, earning a 4.5-star rating on the Apple App Store. Shark Kevin O'Leary offered $225,000 for a 10% equity stake. Tomer accepted the deal, but it did not close post-show.

According to  The Shark Tank Blog , Felt is still in business and available on the iTunes Store and online. The social media accounts on Facebook and Twitter are active while pointing “toward a healthy, growing company.” Slash Gear reports that the app had over 69,000 reviews and a 4.7 rating in 2025. 

According to the official website of Felt, they are also offering seasonal gifts along with the cards. These gifts include flowers,  framed photo prints, stickers, bath products and coffee. 

He has also co-founded other businesses in the past, including SiSTeR Technologies, which was aimed at "automatically creating videos from technical specs, pictures and full-motion videos for used and new vehicles."

According to The Shark Tank Blog , Alpert created the app back in 2013 to “bring more personalisation to our increasingly digital and detached lives. As it says on their website, “it's snail mail, reimagined for the modern world.”

The message is printed with premium paper and then mailed to the recipient. This not only saves a lot of time but also ensures that last-minute cards are made on time without you ever needing to leave home.

Shark Robert Herjavec expressed his scepticism about the pitch, as he believed the technology or idea was proprietary. Kevin O'Leary saw potential in the app as he already has a wedding business in his portfolio, HoneyFund. Kevin showed interest and believed that it could be a money maker if the maker partners with his ability to reduce customer acquisition cost to nearly zero.

Elizabeth Hurley Posts Red Bikini Photo On Instagram, Says 'Missing Paradise'

In a recent Instagram post, the 60-year-old actress posted a photo of herself in a red Elizabeth Hurley Beach bikini, writing she is "missing paradise" in her caption.

The photo shows the "Austin Powers" star standing on a wooden deck with crystal blue water behind her and a camera hanging off her shoulder as she smiles at the camera in a red bikini with gold chain accents.

"Honestly, you are drinking from the fountain of youth 🫶 please spare me a glass ❤️," one fan wrote, while another added, "Age is just a number."

The actress is no stranger to posting bikini photos on social media, having recently shared photos of herself lounging in a leopard-print bikini while on vacation in the Maldives. The post also featured photos of her enjoying a relaxing bubble bath, including a topless photo of her taken from the back as she rinses out her hair.

Earlier in the year, she also posted photos from her 007 themed New Year's Eve party, which she attended in a white bikini, captioning the post, "Happy New Year 💋 Starting 2026 with a bang 💃🏻 #007Party."

Featured in some of the photos from her New Year's Eve post was her boyfriend, Billy Ray Cyrus . The two launched their relationship on Easter Sunday in 2025.

During an interview with The Sunday Times in October 2025, Hurley called Cyrus "fabulous" and shared that they are "very happy" in their relationship, and that he spent the summer with her in her hometown of Herefordshire, England.

"He loves it. Obviously, he loves England. The weather is nicer here in the summer than it is in Tennessee," she said. "He lives 40 minutes outside of Nashville. It's so beautiful. Funnily enough, it actually looks a lot like England. Probably the equivalent of Surrey."

How Love Island USA 'S Nic ⁘ Olandria Exited The Villa A Success Story

The Love Island USA season seven castmates' relationship has been going strong since they left the villa last summer, but it took a while for their bombshell romance to blossom—30 episodes, to be exact.

Despite their slow burn, signs of romance were certainly there when they first locked eyes—and lips—in Fiji. After all, the OG season seven islanders shared a passionate kiss before Olandria ultimately decided to pair up with Taylor Williams .

“Nic and I have always had a thing for each other since day one. I kissed him on day one,” Olandria, 27, recalled in an interview with Variety published in July. “Just because I didn't choose to go with him does not mean that spark wasn't there. It took us some time to get to this point. But that's what makes this connection so special. We've been building up to this point.”

Even after they coupled up with other islanders, Nic, who initially partnered with Bell-A Walker , secretly went in for another smooch during their first challenge. Since Olandria was blindfolded during the chemistry-packed kiss, she had no idea Nic planted the peck until the end of their time in the villa. And looking back, he believes if he revealed his identity sooner, “everything would have been different.”

“I don't know exactly what it would be,” the 24-year-old told TODAY.com in an interview published in July, “but every decision we've made has led us to here, and I wouldn't change anything about that.”

And Casa Amor put that chemistry on display. With the guys at the villa and the girls at Casa, both Nic and Olandria struggled to find new connections, resulting in Nic rescuing Olandria from Casa for a romantic date where they were presented with an ultimatum: couple up or go home single.

'American Idol' 2026: Hannah Harper Goes Viral With 'String Cheese' – Deseret...

Hannah Harper had Carrie Underwood in tears as she sang about the chaos of being a mom of three young boys during her “American Idol” audition.

“I thought finding peace in the quiet's what I wanted / but I'd do anything to go back to being needed,” the 25-year-old artist from Missouri sings in her original song, “String Cheese,” which the “Idol” judges compared to Dolly Parton's style of storytelling.

A new Instagram trend also has moms posting the song and sharing their own motherhood stories — including country star Lauren Alaina, who is eight months postpartum.

Harper told herself she wasn't going to cry during her “American Idol” audition. But the tears came pretty quickly as she started opening up to the judges about her song.

“And I finally opened his cheese, and when I did, I realized that God had put me in that place, and that where I was in my house was the biggest ministry that I could ever have, in being a mom,” she continued. “So, I gathered myself, and I got up off the couch, and I quit throwing a pity party, and I realized that that was exactly what I wanted.”
