Have you ever wondered what it's like to appear on Shark Tank? Shirah Benarde is the Founder and inventor of NightCap, an innovative and easy-to-use product that protects the user from drink spiking. In 2021, at just 17 years old, Shirah and her brother went on ABC’s hit show, Shark Tank, and quickly earned a deal with Shark Lori Greiner. Shirah has since grown their product line, advocated for legislation that supports drink safety, and was selected as one of Inc. Magazine’s 2025 Female Founders.

On today’s show, Shirah describes the experience of pitching on Shark Tank, some of the challenges of being a young entrepreneur, the scope of the drink-spiking problem and who is at risk, how NightCap products protect users, and much more!
