No, UnPack is no longer in business. The New York City startup, which delivered rental wardrobes and travel toiletries to hotels and Airbnbs, shut down less than a year after its Shark Tank appearance.
What happened on Shark Tank
UnPack pitched on Season 8 seeking $500,000 for 40% equity. None of the Sharks expressed interest, and the founders left without a deal.
Why it didn’t survive
The core problem was demand, not funding. UnPack reported only about 37 users in its first six months of operation, a customer base far too small to sustain the logistics of renting out wardrobes and delivering them across a single city. The service never expanded beyond its initial New York market, and operations quietly ceased by the end of 2017.
