Screen Skinz Agreed to Deal with Kevin O’Leary and Alexis Ohanian to Fuel Next Phase of Growth
Strategic Partnership with Category-Leader Belkin Demonstrates Further Brand Momentum
HOUSTON, April 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Screen Skinz, the world’s first and only print on-demand personalized screen protector that shows off when you want it and disappears when you don’t, landed a $300,000 investment from Kevin O’Leary, aka “Mr. Wonderful,” and Guest Shark Alexis Ohanian on ABC’s hit show “Shark Tank“. During the episode, co-founders RaShaun Brown and Clay Canning, alongside advisor Wayne Pfeffer, pitched the brand, citing strong consumer demand, major licensing deals, and scalable growth potential within the massive global accessories market.
The Sharks were intrigued by Screen Skinz’s patented technology that turns ordinary phone screens into dynamic, customizable expressions of personal style. Screen Skinz’s proprietary process etches logos, designs, names, and images directly onto premium tempered glass screen protectors, transforming every locked screen into a personal statement. Designs remain visible when the display is off and disappear when the screen is in use, providing a smooth, uninterrupted viewing experience.
Screen Skinz’s differentiated innovation quickly sparked competitive interest among Kevin O’Leary and Alexis Ohanian, who took particular interest in the unique value proposition and profitable business model of the personalized protectors. Recognizing the combined value both Sharks bring, Screen Skinz agreed to a joint deal for 15% of the company.
“Our appearance on Shark Tank marks a major milestone in the Screen Skinz story,” said Clay Canning, co-founder of Screen Skinz. “What started more than seven years ago as an idea in my family’s laundry room has grown into a brand we’re extremely proud of. The Sharks’ investment is a validation of the perseverance, calculated risk, and resilience it took to get here — and the fuel we need to scale the business and bring our product to customers around the world.”
Following the appearance on Shark Tank, Screen Skinz announced a strategic partnership with Belkin, a leading consumer electronics brand for over 40 years, validating the growing market opportunity for personalization. Custom Glass screen protectors powered by Screen Skinz are available now on Belkin.com, where users can create a custom design or choose from a curated collection of licensed designs to be etched directly onto their screen protector. Belkin utilizes Screen Skinz’s on-demand production capabilities and patented technology to power its customized screen protectors, bringing a new level of personalization to its customers.
“Consumer demand for personalized, differentiated products has never been higher, and we purpose-built Screen Skinz for exactly this moment,” said RaShaun Brown, CEO of Screen Skinz. “We are thrilled to partner with Belkin to energize a screen protection category that has lacked major innovation — remaining the final untouched surface in mobile personalization. This milestone marks our evolution from a standalone consumer brand into a tech-driven platform that empowers global brands to meet the demand for personalization, without the complexity and traditional risks associated with customization at scale.”
The Shark Tank episode featuring Screen Skinz originally aired on ABC on January 21, 2026, and re-aired April 1, 2026, and is available to watch on ABC.com and stream on Hulu. For more information and photos, visit https://www.dgepress.com/abc/shows/shark-tank.
