OEN Member NewsWatch Grand PooBox Founder Courtney Karsted Pitch on Steve Harvey’s FUNDERDOME
On Episode 10 of Steve Harvey’s FUNDERDOME, a new batch of aspiring inventors hoping to win over a live studio audience to fund their ideas, products or companies include: a way to keep foods separated on your plate; a sleepover kit for kids; a device that allows you to build a strong core while playing video games on your phone; a gym-in-a-box for all fitness levels; an odor-eliminating dryer, sanitizer, and deodorizer for smelly clothes; and a modern litter box designed to keep litter inside the box.
