President of Garrett Leather Featured on ‘Shark Tank’

July 23, 2023 By Nadeem Muaddi

The Hog Ring - Banana Phone Garrett Leather Shark Tank

Max Brown, president of Garrett Leather, was featured in the latest season of “Shark Tank” pitching his side hustle Banana Phone.

In the hit ABC Show, season 14: episode 2, Max and his partner Brian Brunsing ask for $250,000 in exchange for 10% of their company Banana Phone, which sells a banana phone handset that syncs via bluetooth to a smart phone.

The quirky product made more than $1.6 million in lifetime sales and even shares a portion of its proceeds with the conservation group Gearing Up 4 Gorillas.

It’s a fun product and a strong pitch, but will they get a deal? Tune in to find out…

Based in Buffalo, New York, Garrett Leather is a supplier of Italian leather upholstery — and apparently a supporter of creative, outside-the-box thinkers.

Although we were surprised by Max’s appearance, we have to admit that it’s really cool to see someone from our industry make it into the tank!
