The show has brought hundreds of budding businesses serious growth (some even up to 2600%!), so we decided to put together this list of our favorite inventions and can't-live-without picks featured on the show — even some that didn't get investments — in hopes that other nerds like us will appreciate it.

Ring Video Doorbell

Though the popular video doorbell system is now a household name, Ring actually made its first national appearance on Shark Tank back in 2013. At the time, it operated under the name DoorBot, and CEO James Siminoff left without accepting an investment from any of the sharks. 

In a major turn of events, Amazon acquired Ring last year, turning the Shark Tank reject into a billionaire.

One of Shark Tank's most profitable businesses to date, Grace & Lace now sells much more than the original lustworthy leg warmers that lured in a lofty $175,000 investment from Barbara Corcoran.

The Spatty and Spatty Daddy are essentially just two tiny versions of regular spatulas meant to help you get the extra product at the bottom of your makeup, salad dressing, or lotion bottles. While it was originally invented for use with beauty products, it can also double as a useful cupcake decorating tool in the kitchen. You can buy one package meant for makeup and another for food, but we don't think there's much of a difference except the colors.
