No More Tape Troubles
We love tape for its versatility, but we don’t love the sticky situations it creates. There’s the grimy adhesive residue it leaves behind, and sometimes it flexes its strength a little too hard and damages surfaces, but Hugo Maisnik accidentally solved that problem for us with his self-adhesive tape that has become popular among the sewing community.
When Hugo’s Amazing Tape appeared on Shark Tank, the co-founders were looking for investors but walked away with a different kind of deal. Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner bought the company for $100,000. The entrepreneurs helped it reach new customers on store shelves and through online retailers in new sizes and colors.
