Kisstixx

Kisstixx is a lip balm brand from Orem, Utah, sold in pairs of matching flavors designed to be worn by two people. It was started by Dallas Robinson and Mike Buonomo while they were students at Utah Valley University. The founders pitched in Season 3, Episode 7. Mark Cuban invested, and FinSMEs reported the next day that the company had received $200,000 from him to grow the brand. Forbes also covered the pair's experience on the show months later. The size of Cuban's stake appears only on fan sites, so we do not list an equity figure, and the founders' original ask is also unconfirmed. The product's appeal was mainly as a novelty and gift item, with the paired flavors serving as the selling point. We have not found reliable reporting on how far Kisstixx got in stores after the episode. The company's current status is unclear. Its website showed only a near-empty page when we checked, and we did not find an active retail listing from the brand. Reports that the company shut down come only from fan sites, so we do not repeat them. This page lists the status as unknown. Readers should treat this profile as a record of the Shark Tank appearance rather than a current buying guide. The deal coverage is summarized in the update below, and we will update this page if better sourcing turns up.
