LARQ makes a self-cleaning water bottle with a UV-C light built into the cap. Founder Justin Wang struck a $1 million deal with Lori Greiner and Kevin O’Leary on Shark Tank’s twelfth season, asking for $500,000 for 1% — but the deal fell through during due diligence and never closed. LARQ continued independently and was later acquired by Brita at an undisclosed price; Wang remains CEO.
