UD grad to appear on ABC's Shark Tank

UD alum Joelle Flynn, co-founder of FunkkOFF!, will be pitching to the sharks on Friday, Feb. 17

University of Delaware Class of ‘94 alumna Joelle Flynn will appear on Shark Tank on Friday, Feb. 17 to pitch a product designed by her company FunkkOFF! with co-Founder and co-CEO Sonia Hounsell. FunkkOFF!, a winner of UD’s Blue Hen 17&43 Award in 2021 and 2022, has disrupted the $34 billion oral care industry with its innovative dental beauty accessory FunkkOFF! TeethRefreshers is the only multi-use, all-in-one, oral care solution that fits in the palm of your hand.

A 2022 WE Hatch Honor Circle Inductee, Flynn said she conceived the idea in 2010, when she was tired of carrying around a full size toothbrush and toothpaste to remove stains from food and drink, and keep her teeth clean. TeethRefreshers are an all-natural, reusable, all-in-one travel toothbrush plus toothpaste product that is as discreet and easy to use as applying lip balm.

Please consider joining Horn Entrepreneurship and the E-Club for a Shark Tank Watch Party at the Venture Development Center to support FunkkOFF! and celebrate the occasion. The party will kick off at 7:30 p.m., and the Shark Tank episode will start at 8:00 pm. For more information and to register, please visit: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0d4eadad2ea3fd0-shark
