Health food company Shark Tank has received a $700,000 investment from businessmen Mark Cuban and former baseball player Alex Rodriguez for its soluble protein powder pods. Each serving of powder, which contains 20 g of protein and 90 calories with no fat or sugar, is wrapped in an edible, food-grade film that dissolves when shaken or blended. The patent-pending product, designed to reduce the messiness of protein supplements, was pitched on an episode of ABC's Vade Nutrition. Shark Tank has already made $80,000 in revenue since launching last July.
