Alexander Eburne was tired of making huge messes during kitchen prep, so he set out to keep cooking organized with his product, Prepdeck. This organization kit has places for ingredients, an integrated cutting board, and dozens of snap-on tools for an all-in-one experience.

When they ask how he plans to use the money, Alexander gives a neat, business-savvy answer that the sharks love.
However, Barbara Corcoran is the first to go out regardless. She’s particular about her cooking surfaces, and plastic just doesn’t cut it.
Kevin O’Leary, on the other hand, offers a $750,000 loan with 9.5% interest over 36 months for a 5% equity stake. He promises to brand the company with a Chef Wonderful endorsement, as the product fits right in his wheelhouse.
