Shark Tank Junobie Update
- Entrepreneur: Nikeytha “Nickey” Ramsey

Nikeytha “Nickey” Ramsey ran into a common problem for new moms with leaky, unreliable breast milk storage bags. Her solution, Junobie, ensures nursing moms won’t need to cry over spilled milk anymore.
Nickey’s innovative reusable silicone breast milk storage bags have earned $86,000 in year-to-date sales, and are projected to do $300,000 by the end of the year. Junobie used to be on Amazon but had to pull the listings due to a lack of inventory.
Nickey started her pitch by demonstrating the leaky issues with disposable milk storage bags. Pumping milk is no easy task, so losing even a small amount to poor product design can be disheartening and discouraging.
At first, the sharks seem interested in the product. However, there’s some hesitation after learning of the company’s low sales numbers.
Despite this, Kevin O’Leary drops out immediately because of a disconnect with the product.
Mark Cuban, on the other hand, praises Nickey, but it’s just not the product for him. Because of this, he is out, too.
Next, Lori Greiner chimes in. She goes out, also, saying that it simply isn’t the right business for her.
This leaves guest shark Emma Grede and Barbara Corcoran still at the table.
Emma Grede offers $100,000 for 25% equity because she loves both the product and Nickey.
As a result of this, Barbara goes out. She says she would have made the same offer.
Nickey tries to negotiate with Emma but to no avail. After some back-and-forth, they finally landed on $100,000 for 22.5% equity and Nickey accepted the deal.
Did partnering with Emma Grede make a difference for Nickey and her company? Let’s find out in our Junobie update.
All things considered, Junobie is thriving. With rapid growth and expanded market reach, the company is on its way to becoming a top contender in the mother and baby space.
Our Junobie update found that the company doesn’t just do breast milk storage bags anymore. A quick look at the Junobie website shows a next-generation storage bag with clearer measurements, a cooling bottle, and more.
The reusable, dishwasher, and microwave-safe products are also now available through specialty baby retailers such as Babylist, making them accessible to even more moms everywhere. With rapid success, the company now has an estimated annual revenue of over $1 million.
The innovative breast milk storage solutions have made an impact on new mothers, gaining Junobie a loyal social media following. The company currently has more than 73,000 followers on Instagram and over 233,000 on TikTok.
Without a doubt, the deal with Emma allowed Junobie to expand its product offerings and make a difference for moms everywhere.
Being that this is likely only the beginning for the company, we can’t wait for our next Junobie update.
