ENTREPRENEUR: Irena Blok.

PITCH: Face Blok, a line of fashionable surgical masks designed to "take something sterile and uninteresting" and fuse it with something fun. She just has the prototype, and needs the money to make the medically-approved masks.

ASKING FOR: $50K for a 30% stake in his business.

BEST PART OF HER PITCH: She reveals the head of the American Pediatric Board contacted her and says the masks, some of which have a pig snout and a jawbone on them, are genius. Also, one week after launching the masks, she got a mention on FOX News and in the Sydney Morning Herald.

DO THE SHARKS BITE? No. Irena says that her target audience is people who dare to express themselves and have an edgy sense of humor, but "that's clearly not the Sharks."
