Space Entrepreneur Featured on Shark Tank
In 2018, San Antonio-based entrepreneurs Krissy Pruske and Rachel Lincoln introduced a unique product to the world - The Space Traveler. This lightweight, tent-like car separator was designed to keep children happy during car travels, prevent them from irritating each other, and ensure their safety.
The Space Traveler, easily washable and integrated with the vehicle's seats, was more than just a car accessory. It was a solution for parents who love traveling with their children. Each unit, priced at $39.95 before its appearance on Shark Tank, featured pockets for electronics and snacks, and could fit in any car, whether it had standard seats or a child car seat.
The Space Traveler's appearance on Shark Tank brought it a significant amount of publicity. However, one aspect that remained unclear was which 'Shark Tank' judge invested in Krissy and Rachel's company. Barbara Corcoran offered $100,000 in return for 33.3% of their company and asked for a royalty of $2 per sale until the investment amount was paid. Yet, the search results do not provide information about the final investment decision.
Despite its size, which could be considered cumbersome when installed in the car, The Space Traveler filled a gap in the market. Currently, no alternatives are as effective as this innovative product. It separated the back of the car from the front, creating a separate space for children, and could collapse easily to fit inside a tote bag for transportation.
Unfortunately, The Space Traveler is no longer in business. Its website is down, and social media has not been updated for some time. The product, however, continues to be remembered as a testament to the ingenuity of its creators and the need it filled for families on the go.
The Space Traveler was more than just a car accessory; it was a solution for families who love to travel together. Its brief but impactful existence serves as a reminder of the potential for innovation and the importance of meeting the needs of families in the marketplace.
