What is the most successful product from Shark Tank Australia?

Shark Tank Australia has been behind a few successful products and/or businesses, most notably Car Next Door (which has since rebranded as Uber Carshare), Be Fit Food and Hegs. 

Car Next Door was founded in 2012. The business then appeared on Shark Tank Australia in 2016 looking for a $300,000 investment for a 4 per cent stake. And in 2022, Car Next Door was acquired by Uber for an estimated $50 million.

Be Fit Food appeared on Shark Tank Australia in 2017 and secured investment from Janine Allis. Prior to that, the business was failing. 

However, today – after appearing on Shark Tank – Be Fit Food is a roaring success. Plus, it has received accreditation as a National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and home care services provider and has partnered with several major Australian health insurance providers.
