In 2014, when she was only six years old, Kiowa Kavovit went on Shark Tank to pitch her business idea.
Kiowa Kavovit will become the youngest inventor ever to pitch an idea @ABCSharkTank! Good luck, Kiowa! http://t.co/IhLTpXPAPf — Good Morning America (@GMA) March 14, 2014
With her father by her side, she went face to face with Mark Cuban, Barbara Corcoran, Lori Grenier, Kevin O’Leary, and friend of the 10X family, Robert Herjavec.
Due to her height, she stood on a stool so the panel of Sharks could get a clear view of her presentation.
Kiowa’s idea? Boo Boo Goo, a paint-on bandage created specifically for kids like her.
Boo Boo Goo: the youngest Shark Tank entrepreneur’s business pitch
Essentially, Kiowa’s invention was a liquid, organic, waterproof alternative for the traditional bandage. She came up with the idea when she was four years old, and her father supported her dream.
The idea behind the bandage was to make it fun, colorful, and accessible to all.
Andy Kavovit, Kiowa’s father, shared his future-oriented approach to parenting with USA Today:
“We feel that the more entrepreneurially-minded kids are from the outset, the better the chances that they’ll try out their ideas when they’re young.”
In addition, executive producer of Shark Tank, Clay Newbill, explained for the same outlet, “Every year the number and quality of ideas improves and the number of younger applicants rises.” He also added, “We hope that in five to 10 years, the next Mark Zuckerberg will say he or she got inspired by seeing the people on this show.”
According to Bloomberg, after a harsh reality check from the Sharks, Kiowa indeed received the $100,000 investment requested.
However, instead of 17.5% ownership in the company, Kevin O’Leary offered the amount in exchange for 25%. The youngest entrepreneur in Shark Tank history and her father accepted.

The singer, 29, admits in an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show to air Wednesday that she only brushes her teeth "maybe three times a week." Why? "Because my teeth are so white and I don't like them to feel too slippery but I do use Listerine and I do floss everyday," she explains. "But I don't brush them every day."
The singer, 29, admits in an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show to air Wednesday that she only brushes her teeth "maybe three times a week."
Why?
"Because my teeth are so white and I don't like them to feel too slippery but I do use Listerine and I do floss everyday," she explains. "But I don't brush them every day."
"My lips just slide all over the place….I can't catch up with my mouth," she continues. "I need a little coating…."
Instead, she'll "use a shirt or something" to scrub her chompers clean.
"I know it's gross but I always have fresh breath," she swears. "It's really weird but I have great breath."
Maybe that explains why the Vh1 reality star is still single. Although she says she's actively looking for her next guy on the down low.
"I mingle around very privately," she tells DeGeneres. "I have ways in and out of my house and certain places that I go that are private just so I can have a normal life. I'm still out there and bring normal."
After very public splits with John Mayer and Tony Romo, she still says it "doesn't really matter" if her next guy is famous or not.
Her only requirements: "They definitely have to understand my life and what I put up with and what I deal with. Being scrutinized publicly… [that] can definitely make or break a relationship and you have to have that strong foundation… so I have to have somebody that understands that kind of lifestyle."
