After discovering a way to help busy moms better feed their babies, a Houston couple determined they wanted to take their idea to the sharks!

Dr. Berkley Luck and her husband, Pedro Silva, went on an opportunity of a lifetime. It was nerve-wracking, but a huge deal for their small local company."For months, every evening at our house it was Shark Tank and chill," said Pedro Silva, founder and CEO of Milkify.They founded the company, Milkify, in 2018 in their spare bedroom"The idea for Milkify really came from a colleague.

"Honestly I thought this is one of the craziest ideas I've ever heard of," said Silva. "There must be something here.""In 2021 we started offering nationwide shipping. We offered moms across the U.S. their ability to get their milk to us and that's when the business started to take off," said Dr. Luck.

Their business is getting quite successful and it continues to grow -- so much so that there's even a waitlist. Some of their customers told them it was time for Shark Tank. "I looked to Berkley -- maybe we should go on Shark Tank. You think we can do this? Yeah," said Pedro.For news updates, follow Mayra Moreno on
