Last Updated: April 4, 2026

The Sprouting Company appeared on Shark Tank US Season 17 asking for $150,000 for 10% equity. The Sprouting Company did not receive an offer and left without a deal. As of 2026, The Sprouting Company has an estimated net worth of $300,000.

The Sprouting Company makes an at-home system that lets people grow their own nutrient-dense sprouts with just water and seeds. Founder Doug pitched on Season 17 but could not close the equity gap with the Sharks.

What Is The Sprouting Company?

The Sprouting Company sells a home sprouting system that allows people to grow fresh sprouts in their kitchen. Founded by Doug in 2018 after he studied the health benefits of sprouts, the system needs only water and seeds to produce fresh, nutrient-rich sprouts in days.

The Shark Tank Pitch

Doug pitched on Episode 4 of Season 17, the episode featuring guest Shark Alexis Ohanian.

The Deal

No deal. Doug countered in the single digits on equity, and the gap between what he wanted and what the Sharks were offering never closed.
