Meckwood, a medical device sales representative, said the idea came to her in a dream after a breakup left her carrying groceries on her own. She also demonstrated strong persistence, auditioning for the show seven times over seven years before finally getting on board.

At the time of filming, each unit cost $1.85 to produce and sold for $11.99. The company had generated about $625,000 in lifetime sales, with only $70,000 earned in the year before her appearance. Before going on the show, Kim sold Click and Carry at farmers’ markets and swap meets but paused the business while battling breast cancer, then decided to pursue it fully after her recovery.

Click and Carry's Shark Tank pitch deal

Meckwood initially entered the tank seeking $225,000 for 15% equity. Barbara Corcoran first made an aggressive offer of $225,000 for 100% ownership, which Meckwood refused because the business was deeply personal to her. Barbara then revised her offer to $225,000 for 85% equity, but Meckwood declined again.

Entrepreneur Mark Cuban then suggested a joint deal with Barbara, noting that while Meckwood was a strong inventor, she needed support with operations. Together, they offered $225,000 for 40% equity, with the plan that they would handle operations and inventory while Meckwood focused on product development. She accepted the offer on air.

My mold overseas was $26,000 and would be $65,000 here at a minimum. And the steel that is used, let’s say we use the fine American steel, it has to be sent over to China to create the molds because they’re the experts in mold making,

Kim also noted that she has invested $10,000 to explore U.S. production, but rising costs and steep import tariffs have made it financially challenging to move forward.

Let’s say it cost me about $150,000 to pay for that product. Well with the 145% tariff, it’s going to cost me another 218,000 or close to that in addition to the $150,000 I already paid to create the product. I can’t afford that,

Looking ahead, the company has focused on improving the original product rather than launching new ones. Although a new idea for surfers and skiers was mentioned in 2022, recent efforts have centred on expanding how the carrier is used, including carrying paint cans, ski boots, and sports gear.
