Robert Herjavec cannot believe that Eric built the Tesla coil that they brought to the set. Eric goes on to say that he actually built it in high school.
Lori Greiner especially loves the fact that any company can license and brand the product. Jake and Eric also share that the charging pad can be made in any size to accommodate various size wireless devices.
The unit is proprietary, too, which the sharks also love. As they say, they’ll make more money selling the tech to other companies.
In addition, AIRA recently took on its first bulk licensing order for 33,000 units, which is good news for potential investors.

Kevin O’Leary and Lori go in together on $500,000 as a loan, at 9% interest, and 15% equity, although they quickly drop the loan aspect of the deal when Robert tells Jake and Eric they don’t need credit.
