ABC's "Shark Tank" is thrilling to watch as wealthy investors pick apart contestants' businesses and decide which ones are worth their investments. As Rebecca Romanucci walked in with her husband Eric to pitch her business DynoSafe Delivery Box in Season 12, Episode 19, she was beyond nervous. She stumbled through the presentation, but only with the investors' patience, grace, and encouragement. She explained that DynoSafe is a patented smart lockbox for your porch that is temperature controlled through a handy app to keep one's home deliveries safe until retrieved, which helps avoid spoiling of sensitive items like groceries and medications. Looking to work with retailers, Rebecca said that delivery personnel would receive a one-time random code to drop off items in the DynoSafe. The recipient would also be notified once the items were secured in the box.
Rebecca told the Sharks that her inspiration for the company arose when one of her clients from the MediSpa that she owned did not receive their delivery after it had been shipped out, costing her business money and her client valuable time. DynoSafe appeared on "Shark Tank" after three years of work and with $500,000 of personal money invested but with only three homes having tested the product. They sought a $150,000 investment with 15% equity, and while three Sharks passed on the offer, the couple did receive interest from Robert Herjavec and Kevin O'Leary.
