Yes, Ice Shaker is still in business. The insulated shaker bottle company founded by Chris Gronkowski, the shortest of the five athletic Gronkowski brothers, remains active and continues selling its stainless steel shaker bottles and a wider drinkware lineup.
What happened on Shark Tank
Gronkowski originally asked for $100,000 for 10% equity. He walked away with a bigger deal than he pitched for: $150,000 for 15% equity from Mark Cuban and Alex Rodriguez, both of whom saw value in a durable, insulated shaker bottle built for gym use rather than a novelty product.
What the company looks like now
Ice Shaker expanded from its original single product into a broader drinkware lineup, sold both direct through its own site and on Amazon. The brand has leaned into its athletic, gym-focused identity rather than pivoting away from it, staying close to the original product concept that got Cuban and Rodriguez interested in the first place.
