Budsies on Shark Tank
Budsies appeared on Shark Tank in April 2015. It was a thrilling episode where both Mr. Wonderful and Daymond gave Alex offers to inves in Budsies. However, we stood our ground and rejected their lowball offers. The episode is full of fun twists, turns, and surprises - including mini Selfies dolls of each of the Sharks!
Our website received over 100,000 new fans in the first weekend after airing. And shortly after the show, Budsies secured investment from a well regarded venture capital firm in San Francisco and our company has skyrocketed in growth.
We are huge fans of Shark Tank and very thankful to everyone involved in putting together the show. While we did not agree to an equitable deal with the Sharks, we wholeheartedly support the show and its impact on celebrating the culture of entrepreneurship.
And over 220+ more blogs and media outlets!

She then turned to me and continued,
"Needless to say, my boys are very happy with their Budsies… The boys have slept with them every single night since they got them."
"They are perfectly constructed and appliqued. And the fact that the designer was able to interpret Emma's 3 year-old scribble into such a perfect representation just blows my mind."
"I don't think there is anything in the world more magical than seeing your imagination manifest itself and each time a Budsie is given to a child it creates another moment where they can believe that anything is possible."
My kids were bouncing off of the walls with excitement! I really didn't know what to expect when they came, but I was shocked with the quality of the stuffed animals and the amount of detail that made into making them the exact replica of what the kids drew.
AMAZING!"
"I have to be honest when I say it turned out to be SO much more than I ever thought it would be. I literally teared up."
