Brother Appears on "Shark Tank"
On Friday, September 23rd, Former Commander Justin Kittredge ΙΔ 533 appeared on the ABC reality show, "Shark Tank", where enterprising entrepreneurs present their ideas to a panel of notable venture capital investors. For the last three years, Justin (or "Kit" as he was known in his Iota Delta years), has been the Founder and CEO of iSlide. iSide is a Boston-based company that designs and manufactures custom sports sandals. As Justin mentioned on the show, the company has taken in more than $1.25 million in revenue during its brief time in operation.
After presenting his product alongside All-Pro Pittsburgh Steelers WR Antonio Brown, Justin received an offer from one of the sharks of $500,000 in exchange for 20% of the company. Rather than accept an offer that he felt was wrong for iSlide, Justin thanked the panel and instead chose to bet on himself to take iSlide to the next level.
Congrats, Brother Kittredge!
