Beyond the Tank: When the Real Entrepreneurial Journey Begins

Beyond the Tank: When the Real Entrepreneurial Journey Begins

Many entrepreneurs dream of appearing on Shark Tank.

But what happens after the cameras turn off?

In this episode of HarmonyTALK, host Lisa Champeau sits down with Scranton native and inventor Kim Meckwood, founder of Click & Carry, the simple but ingenious device designed to make carrying grocery bags, paint cans, sports equipment, and everyday loads dramatically easier.

Kim’s idea began with a familiar frustration. While hauling grocery bags up apartment stairs, she wondered why such a common problem didn’t have a better solution.

That moment sparked Click & Carry.

Turning the idea into a real product required persistence. Kim built prototypes, secured patents, and auditioned seven times before finally landing a spot on Shark Tank, where she secured a deal with Barbara Corcoran and Mark Cuban.

Today Kim is focused on the next chapter of entrepreneurship. She is pitching Click & Carry to major retailers, working to place the product on big box store shelves, and exploring how to move manufacturing to the United States as new import tariffs reshape global production.

Her mindset is simple:

“No just means no for now.”
