Destin Bell, a 26-year-old entrepreneur, secured $150,000 for his running app Card.io after cold-emailing Niantic's CEO weekly for three months. Appearing on "Shark Tank," he sought additional funding and ultimately accepted an offer from Daymond John and Rashaun Williams for 15% equity. Bell's app, which allows users to compete for turf by walking, running, or biking, generated $4,000 in revenue from customers in 70 countries prior to the show.
