At 12 years old, Alina Kravchenko emigrated with her mother and sister from Ukraine to the U.S. in hopes of a better life in America.
After hearing Kravchenko's pitch for SwipenSnap a diaper cream applicator you can apply with one hand, O'Leary and Greiner agreed to give her a six-figure deal for half the business.While pregnant with her son, Kravchenko had toto stay afloat. At the time, she put her dreams of becoming an entrepreneur aside to ensure she could provide for her son, she said.
"[It's] the first and only patented one-hand cream applicator," Kravchenko told the Sharks. "After attaching it onto your favorite diaper cream, simply pull the tube from the suction-cup lid, squeeze the desired amount of ointment and swipe it on your baby, all with one hand." Although the Sharks were impressed by Kravchenko's drive, they were concerned about her sales – in two and a half years on the market, SwipenSnap had generated $15,000 in sales.
