Body Jac was a resistance-band push-up trainer pitched on Shark Tank’s first season in 2009. Barbara Corcoran and Kevin Harrington offered $180,000 for 50% of the company, contingent on founder Jack Barringer losing 30 pounds — a condition he met before the deal closed. Corcoran has since called it one of her worst investments on the show; the company’s website went down in 2012, and public reporting on its exact final shutdown date is less consistent than it is for the deal itself.
