“This is a great moment in Shark Tank history, and a testament to the message at the heart of the show: the American Dream is alive and well,” said Kevin O’Leary, founder of O’Leary Financial and star of ABC’s Shark Tank. “I’ve worked closely mentoring Brian and Julie, the founders of GrooveBook, and I’ve always believed in their potential as entrepreneurs to grow their business into something remarkable. Today they have done just that – and thanks to their hard work and great innovation, they are going to wake up financially independent and free.” GrooveBook is an iPhone and Android app and subscription service that prints up to 100 mobile phone photos in a 4.5″ x 6.5″ GrooveBook and mails it to customers every month for $2.99.
Joining Shutterfly is also a great opportunity for GrooveBook to have access to their photo printing capabilities, which can help the company scale. The quality of the photo printing of GrooveBook has not been the startup’s forte according to reviews. So this can be a great benefit for customers.
