Patch | Rockland County Entrepreneurs Score On Shark Tank With 'The Snorinator'
Patch celebrated the local success story of Lloyd and Sue Ecker from Pomona, New York, who secured a significant $100,000 investment on Shark Tank.
The article highlights how Sharks Lori Greiner and Michael Strahan tested the memory foam pillow on a demo bed before deciding to invest in this innovative product designed to keep sleepers' heads elevated throughout the night. Patch details Lloyd's personal struggle as a chronic snorer whose wife kicked him out of the bedroom so she could sleep, leading him to try various products without success.
The piece explains Lloyd's year-long research that uncovered the High Fowler medical sleeping posture dating back to 1888, inspiring him to create a special pillow with a unique head nest. Patch quotes Lloyd's testimony: "The Snorinator has not only solved my snoring problem the last three years, but it also got me back in the bedroom with my wife."
The article emphasizes that Ecker views the $100,000 financial investment as bringing both capital and strategic guidance to the brand, expressing hope that The Snorinator will become a major player in the sleep market. Patch notes that Lloyd and Sue Ecker are co-founders of Snorinator Enterprises LLC.
