#0278 - Poplight - Rose & Caroline Matthes (as seen on Shark 🦈 Tank)

On the latest episode of Startup To Storefront, we’re shining a spotlight on Rose & Caroline, the wife-and-wife duo behind Poplight, as seen on Shark Tank! 💡

The idea for Poplight came to them when they moved into their first place together. They wanted beautiful, modern wall lighting that fit their budget, but quickly realized traditional wall sconces just wouldn’t work for them:

💸 They’re expensive – costing hundreds of dollars each. 

🔧 They require a contractor for installation (and might even break your lease!)

🔒 Once installed, they’re permanent, meaning you can’t take them with you if you move or redecorate.

That’s when they had their 💡 lightbulb moment:

Poplight, renter-friendly wall lighting that installs in seconds, can be moved easily, and fits any budget! Here’s how their journey unfolded: - They went viral on TikTok (yes, in their overalls!) - A Shark Tank producer reached out, but they thought it was a scam. - After some convincing, they made it onto the show—and the rest is history!
