Notable findings and disputes

  1. strong corroboration BottleKeeper was acquired in 2021 by Wind Point Partners/RTIC Outdoors; its Shark Tank deal with Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner did not close, and the standalone brand is no longer clearly marketed as an active product line. [ KEEP5, KEEP6, KEEP7, KEEP8, KEEP9 ]
  2. strong corroboration Callinan directly states the Cuban/Greiner deal did not close; later secondary reporting describes roughly six months of diligence and a failed attempt at an alternate consulting arrangement. [ KEEP7, KEEP10 ]
  3. strong corroboration The acquisition is supported by founder-authored/current professional biography material and independent business reporting; exact purchase price and acquisition agreement were not located. [ KEEP7, KEEP8 ]
  4. verified fact The 2021 IP transfer from CamCal Enterprises to BottleKeeper, LLC is independently visible in public patent/trademark records and is consistent with a transaction process, but those records alone do not identify Wind Point/RTIC as the assignee. [ KEEP5, KEEP6 ]
  5. credible report Officially licensed Shark Tank Global metadata calls the clip season 10 episode 7, while contemporaneous broadcast-order sources identify the November 25, 2018 broadcast as season 10 episode 6; the tracker uses broadcast order and preserves the numbering conflict. [ KEEP2, KEEP3, KEEP11 ]

What we could not verify

  • Executed Cuban/Greiner deal termination or diligence documents.
  • Wind Point/RTIC acquisition agreement and exact purchase price.
  • Arizona and Texas entity numbers and current standing for CamCal Enterprises, LLC and BottleKeeper, LLC.
  • Whether RTIC formally discontinued the BottleKeeper brand or merely stopped separately merchandising it.
