Here are five standout U.S. companies that flourished despite sharks swimming away. 1. Ring (formerly DoorBot) Originally called DoorBot, Jamie Siminoff pitched the smart doorbell in Shark Tank Season 5. Sharks, including Mark Cuban, balked at its valuation and unproven status, offering deals that didn’t align—and Siminoff walked away without an investor.
