Grease Monkey Wipes Shark Tank Update – See How They’re Doing Now

Grease Monkey Wipes Before Shark Tank

Tim Stansbury and his business partner Erin Whalen are both recreational cyclists, who have met several years ago through a training group and have been close friends ever since. Tim Stansbury states that a lot of their cycling rides are over a hundred miles, and many times, they have to make on-the-road repairs in the middle of nowhere.

Erin Whalen states that it was on one of those one hundred mile bike rides when she got a flat tire, which Tim Stansbury helped her fix. After they got back on the road, they started thinking about having a solution that would make on-the-road fixit problems a lot easier.

Tim Stansbury states that after doing a lot of research, he and Erin Whalen came up with a perfect product and found a really fun way to market it. Erin Whalen states that their product is not just great for cyclists, because there are so many other, everyday uses for it.

According to Tim Stansbury, the Sharks will love Grease Monkey Wipes, because everyone they ever talked to really liked the products. All that Tim Stansbury and Erin Whalen need to do is get the product in front of the Sharks, and secure an investment from them.
