YouTube star MrBeast joined the Sharks for the Season 18 premiere of Shark Tank, where entrepreneurs Andrew Brown and Kevin Langdon pitched Ball 2, an AI-powered smart ball packed with sensors. The founders sought $200,000 for 10% equity, showcasing technology that lets players create interactive physical games using AI.
Why it matters
