$20M in Sales Post-Shark Tank (How Bambooee Made Millions)
ฝัง

- Bambooee was founded with a simple mission: create a waste-free alternative to disposable paper towels. This small business idea led them to an appearance on Shark Tank and made a deal with Lori Greiner, netting over $15 million in retail sales since the episode aired-and in today’s interview, we’ll find out how they did it.
Bambooee founders Noam and Irene had the first of their business ideas in 2009, when they came up with the reusable paper towels they showcased on Shark Tank. They’ve built on the popularity of paper towels, adding pet drying towels and pillows to their product line-up. Along the way, they’ve planted more than 200,000 trees, living up to their mission of giving back to the planet.
Today, we’ll get Irene and Noam’s advice for identifying profitable business ideas. We’ll find out their process for developing Bambooee towels and how much time and money they invested before making their first sale.
Of course, coming up with a great product is just the first step. We’ll learn how Bambooee built their brand and following, how they secured a spot on Shark Tank, and how that experience fueled their impressive growth. Fans of the show will especially want to hear Noam and Irene’s behind-the-scenes take on how they prepared for the show and what it’s like working with Lori.
Bambooee was built on sustainability and innovation, and they haven’t lost that spirit since they’ve found success. We’ll see how these core values affect their sales and day-to-day operations today, and how they plan to meet their goal of planting 1 million trees.

there is the classic store with brick and mortar
let's call it 1.0
in this store, products almost never change
and the owner chose the products
it is boring
now, there must be a new store
let's call it 2.0
in this store, products always change
and people choose the products there will be via an app
on the app, there is a huge catalog, people choose the products that will show up in the store
the store is constantly being supplied with the products people choose
what are you guys talking about filling out application at 23:30 ?
please clarify because i couldn't understand where to fill out the application. Thank you
Well I have this Idea about the next Social network app who is going to turn down all others because is the real deal ( the original purpose of a social network). Not bad or scams post , not censorship, not fake profiles or fake people and it will be created for make a better world with better and healthier societies .. Waiting for investors that recognize that what we have now is not a proper way for do it and is taking a wrong path affecting in a bad way to people using it ... That’s way we need my idea what is fully structured ...
I have an idea?
What's holding me back is my mental health issues. Impostor syndrome and poverty are such heavy anchors.
The fact at he is so down to earth and honest with his views towards things helped open my eyes out to a lot of things today. Thank you both for a great video!
Great to hear!
I love Noam's fun, honest and humble personality. I wish I knew more people like him. I wish great success on his business and ideas.
We love him too! Thank you for your comment Marcelo :)
Thank you. I absolutely appreciate his openness and honesty.
We're glad you enjoyed the video :)
This founder is a great salesman. Look at how passionately he shows the demo!
He's truly amazing!
What an excellent example is Noam on how a person should be. I just love his personality and his spirit on how he sees things. Thanks for your openness ❤️
We love his personality too!
Wow I’ve learnt a lot from this guy, one of the best episodes, great job UpFlip! Thank you so much for bringing such guys to tell us about their experiences, they are like open books. Thank you once again!
Thanks for the support MedX. We appreciate you. More to come!
It's him. He's an amazing demonstrator. He's selling you on desired results, constantly drawing attention away from himself. That guy IS this product. Without him...forget it.
First time watching your video and this is life changing. I somehow stumbled in your video (thank the TH-cam algorithm) and was sort of dreading the 30 min duration. But your guest is so inspirational and educational that it had my attention for the full 30 mins. And the questions you asked were consequential (not a bad thing). It produced quintessential answers that needs to be heard by everyone, not just the entrepreneurs. Truly amazing....
We're so happy you found our content Terry. We hope more of our videos will bring you just as much inspiration as this one. :)
by far this is the best episode for me, this guy is so smart, funny and inspiring...so much knowledge to share. thank you
I just finished telling my wife how im sick and tired of wasting paper towels and how expensive they can be. I honestly was thinking of better solutions and low and behold this channel and this product. I absolutely love it!!
What a coincidence!
This is one 'Pillow guy' i'll listen to again and again. Great video!
This is one of the best interview I have watched. Thank you Noam for your sincerity and insights shared
Loooove this episode. This guy's genuinely passionate about what he does.
He sure is!
Thank you TH-cam algorithm for bringing these type of video.
We thank TH-cam too! We're glad you enjoyed :)
Just discovered your channel, can't wait to binge watch all your videos

Thank you for your videos. Very informative. I've learned so much from this video and all your other videos. You asked the right questions. You just got yourself a new subscriber!
This Channel is awsome. This guy has great energy
This guy can sell ice to an eskimo. Bro, just use a rag, instead of a paper towel.
Great sales tactic
.....less than 12% of Brazil s rainforest is left....I'm going to stop wiping my ass until u figure something out.
Bro you were like fighting with him for the pillow at 9:30 😂
You can tell Noam has passion to be in business, real down to earth bloke. Kudos to his business ! I learned something today! thanks for the Video on his business!
Couldn't agree more!
*I’ve learned more from this guy in one video than I have ever learned from years of seeing the My Pillow guy yell his lungs out.*
That's great! What's the most valuable thing you learned?
Keep up the great content guys💯💯
One of the best interviews thus far. Thank you 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love your channel!! Sharing it 100x
Awesome thank you Yong!
Great content you provide here. Keep it up. It would be nice to get some of the manufactures interviews to see what they offer in USA and what they can manufacture with some information provided and links. I noticed that it is hard to find a manufacturer in USA that can make a dream or idea come true.
Great suggestion!
We can manufacture for you from Sri lanka

Great video guys!! Would have loved to understand out of the 3x profit , how much went towards marketing?
We will try to improve and make the distinction in future videos. Thanks for the feedback and watching!
Great interview, it was very informative.
Glad it was helpful! Were you inspired to start your own business? ☺️
@@UpFlip Definitely am inspired.
Those words are all I needed thank you very much. I gat an idea that I believe would be worthy millions of dollars but I was hesitant to work on it fearing other people with money copying it.
Lastly I would love more advise on business and how to protect my product once I finish making it.
Once again, thank you very much.
This is the first video I have watched on your channel and It was very beneficial. I have subscribed to your channel right away.
That's a great question we'll be sure to ask in future interviews. Thank you for your comment and we hope you have a lot of success with your product!
@@UpFlip I am currently working it. Your interview has encouraged me to get the product out into the public for feedback, continue improving it, protect legally, and expand distribution.
thank you very much for this video really this man is real business coach
He was very motivated bled mikie. 😀Thanks for watching! Should we do a video on business coaching in an upcoming video?
He just swept the water off the table lol.
Great questions and great answers.
Indeed!

The less environmentally friendly process is often called the viscose method and involves boiling bamboo leaves and shoots in strong chemical solvents such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH - also known as caustic soda or lye) and carbon disulfide in combination with several stages of bleaching. Due to potential health risks and environmental damage surrounding this type of bamboo fiber production, the textile is not considered environmentally defensible. This is the most common production of bamboo textiles.
best thing watched today
Great idea and an amazing product that I believe will get you some places.
Indeed!
This guy drops gems! 💎 💎 💎 💎 💎
What a guy ! This video is a life business lesson !
Indeed it is!
1)make sure you can prove you were the first investor of the product so that they'll give you a patent
2)if you have an idea, make it happen (executing)
3)don't sell on Amazon. They have no respect towards sellers.
Thanks for support our videos Dario. You're a true MVP!🙂What type of business are you in?
20:75
I can't believe NFTs were already a big thing back then. I thought it was a new hit since it's taking off just now.
This guy definitely knows what he's up to.
Yes, NFT's have been around for a while. He was able to get started early. Have you started in investing?
What an awesome Business man. Very open too, I love it
Awesome Chany! Thank you for your kind words. Is this your first time to the channel?
Great interview
Thanks for watching Aaron. Very inspiring and insightful. A lot to learn from this interview about life and business.
Great show..
Awesome video - new subscriber here - thank you
Thank you Dave, we're happy you enjoyed the video :)
the best sales man ever. I wanted to buy it within 2 min of him opening his mouth
Keeps getting better boys! Won't be long until you look back on the road that led to 1m subs
Thanks for the kind words and support Bodgy! More great content coming soon!
amazon don't respect seller it is true
One question: Where can I get the pillow?
His marketing skill is Amazing
It is!
Great episode 👏
Thank you for watching Adrian!
damn i want some of these paper towels
I respect him for speaking up about Amazon. He was absolutely correct. In a few years, Amazon will be like wish if they don't make some changes.
thank you for this video!!
You're so welcome!
Thank you... awesome video...🙌🌷
Thanks for your support :)
Great product! 👏
The problem is that most people who use paper towel coz its deemed disposable and don’t need to be washed! Only if people are willing to spend few extra mins managing reusables, very well could use our old cloths as rags!
We agree!
so inspiring and humble guy
We love him!
This went from paper towel replacement to NFTs.. talk about making a shift
nice idea n great program for people willing to go for start -up
If you could create any type of business startup what would it be Darab?
Best Upflip episode ever.
Thanks to Noam, of course... :-)
Glad you enjoyed Mihai. Have you checked out the latest video?
Love this guy 😎 what a smart talk 😏
Wow ty for sharing your knowledge
We're glad you enjoyed!
This entrepreneur has an effective, simple, necessary, earth friendly, and practical product. This entrepreneur was spot on about Amazon, as Amazon has horrible to non-existent seller support. EbaY has great seller and buyer support, as I have sold on both Amazon and ebaY. I stopped selling on Amazon many years ago. Bambooee cleaning wipes are Practical Perry approved. ; ) (p.s. I have not tried their pillows yet).
Amazing video man!
Glad you liked it!
Great episode
Thank you for the kind words and supporting the channel Diego!
How do I get a hold of bambooee I have a amazing idea for him. Not sure how all this works.
He mentions profit margin should be at least x3. Does he mean selling price should be 3 times of purchasing price?
We need people like him 👍
We really do! What was the most valuable thing you learned from him?
Very inspiring person
Yes!
