Kiowa Kavovit is about as young as an entrepreneur can get at the age of just six years old. Kiowa first appeared on the television show “Shark Tank” to pitch her idea to the Sharks in episode 516 of the series – the young entrepreneurs special.
Kiowa and her father Andrew presented to the Sharks her invention known as “Boo Boo Goo.” It is a paint like substance that you can smear onto a cut or open wound and it will act as a malleable band aid. The main thing that distinguishes this particular product from other liquid bandages is the fact that it comes in an assortment of bright colors which is very appealing to children. Also, it was created to be pain free when peeling it off after use.
After getting shut down by all but one of the Sharks, Kevin O’Leary made an offer to this young entrepreneur with the stipulation that she and her father must get a patent for this product very soon after the deal was struck. O’Leary says that this product has been very successful and he loves the fact that he can strike a business deal with such a young entrepreneurial mind.
Andrew Kavovit was already an avid inventor and was able to make his daughters’ dream come true with Boo Boo Goo. All it takes is one good idea from a young mind for something spectacular to take off, as was the case for this remarkable product.
That’s actually really cool. I know as a kid i would have totally loved that and would have been showing off my cuts if it had a bright color healing remedy on it. Pretty inspiring see as she is so young
This is very cool to see a product innovated with such a simple idea that a six year old thought of it. Also, a lot of band-aids have different designs on them, so it only seems natural that you should try to customize liquid band aids also! Very interesting to realize that almost anything can be innovated in some way.
