ABC’s Shark Tank Season 14 Episode 14 will air on Friday, February 17 at 8pm ET

The women entrepreneurs behind FunkkOFF!® are thrilled to announce they will be pitching their FunkkOFF! TeethRefreshers® to the Sharks Feb. 17 on ABC’s Shark Tank. A pocket-sized, dental beauty accessory, FunkkOFF! ® was created to make you live boldly and laugh loudly with gorgeous white teeth and refreshed breath any time, all the time.“

We are thrilled to present our discreet, simple solution to fresh teeth on Shark Tank. As longtime women in business with families and vibrant social lives, we know firsthand how useful FunkkOFF! TeethRefreshers® is. It’s a must-have for any situation, from dining out and date night to enjoying drinks or making a big work presentation. It’s hard not to need the product once you’ve tried it. Plus, sharks have a lot of teeth!” said Certified Women-Owned FunkkOFF!® Inc. Founder, Joelle Flynn.“

So many people are whitening their teeth and improving their smiles with treatments like clear aligners. Until now there hasn’t been a product that you can use easily during the day when you’re eating and drinking to keep your teeth white and fresh. Now there is and it’s so easy and fun to use, especially the mirror on the bottom so you can check your teeth!” said FunkkOFF! ® Inc. Co-Founder & Co-CEO, Sonia Hounsell.

The women behind FunkkOFF! TeethRefreshers® are no minnows. Flynn, a serial entrepreneur and the youngest stockbroker hired at Bank of America, created the first prototype upon returning home from a wine tasting in Napa, California. After carrying around a full tube of toothpaste and toothbrush to use after each vineyard, Flynn had a revelation when pulling out her lipstick tube: She needed a teeth refresher the same compact size, so she began inventing one! Joelle reached a point where she needed an experienced partner to launch and knew who to call, her dear friend from 7th grade, Sonia Hounsell who had vast experience launching new consumer products and brands. Sonia and Joelle formed FunkkOFF!® Inc. and charged forward on the venture of creating a seamless solution to getting the “Funkk” “OFF!”.

FunkkOFF! TeethRefreshers® is an award-winning, multi-patented, self-care invention you won’t believe you ever lived without. The tube looks like lipstick, but on the inside, it contains 100% Natural and Vegan tooth gel and is reusable about 30 times. Twist the bottom like you would lip balm and the gel pushes up through soft bristles on the brush head. Then, just brush, rinse and SMILE.  The cap is even aerated to keep the bristles from getting bacteria or “Funkky™” as the brand likes to say. Plus, there is a mirror on the bottom of FunkkOFF! TeethRefreshers® so you can check your smile! This is ideal for quick, on-the-go use – clean, refreshed teeth and an irresistible smile.

Why FunkkOFF®?Joelle Flynn, a serial entrepreneur and former stockbroker, invented this innovative solution after returning home from many wine tastings in Napa. She was tired of carrying around a full tube of toothpaste and a toothbrush in her purse to remove the red wine “Funkk“ “OFF” of her white teeth in between wine tasting. Joelle’s “lightbulb moment” happened when she reached into her purse in the bathroom, grabbed her lipstick and thought, “I need something compact, discreet and reusable like my lipstick - but for my teeth!”. AHA! FunkkOFF! TeethRefreshers® was born!

After many years of prototyping, 8 issued U.S. patents for her designs and several trademarks for names and logo, Joelle knew she needed a branding and marketing industry expert to help her take her invention to market. Joelle reached out to her lifelong friend from 7th grade(!), entrepreneur and also award-winning brand marketing leader, Sonia Hounsell, to help her bring FunkkOFF! TeethRefreshers® to market. Sonia has successfully brought over 30 products to market during her outstanding 25+ year brand marketing career. Together, magic happened! (And, a little wine drinking along the way too!)

In 2019, Joelle & Sonia joined forces to pave a new lane in beauty and personal care markets with FunkkOFF!® Inc. Since then, they have secured an International patent, formulated their own all natural tooth gel, refined designs and packaging and crafted a successful launch of FunkkOFF!TeethRefreshers® online this past July. Their flagship product, FunkkOFF! TeethRefreshers®, is just the first of many in their FunkkOFF!® Lifestyle Branded portfolio of revolutionary personal and beauty care products that fits today’s ever changing and social world.

I whiten my teeth and like a fresh and white smile when I'm out, especially taking pictures," said Founder & CEO, Joelle S. Flynn. "To solve this issue, I would carry around a bulky toothpaste tube and full-size toothbrush in my purse. I was constantly brushing my teeth in between selfies and wine tastings to keep my white teeth fresh and white. One of these times, I reached into my purse and pulled out my lipstick, looked at it in the palm of my hand, and thought, 'Why isn't there a product as compact and reusable as my lipstick - but for my teeth?' and that is how FunkkOFF! TeethRefreshers® was born."

Over 80% of Americans use some form of teeth whitening products to keep their teeth white. But, there’s no better way to maintain pearly whites other than brushing. Unless someone is carrying around a toothbrush and toothpaste, they end up with stains on their teeth from coffee, tea, wine and all sorts of beverages or food in teeth after meals. Before FunkkOFF! TeethRefreshers® were invented, there was no way to conveniently & quickly freshen up a smile throughout the day.

January 8, 2019 - FunkkOFF! ® Inc. announces formation of the lifestyle brand company that specializes in innovative, on-the-go personal care, oral care and beauty products for women & men. FunkkOFF!®’s flagship invention is their TeethRefreshers®, the 1st and only all-in-one, reusable toothbrush & toothpaste innovative product to refresh your teeth on-the-go. FunkkOFF! ® Inc. calls this product a must have, “Secret Weapon” in your purse and is the first of many to be rolled out.

Joelle S. Flynn, Founder & CEO, came up with the idea for FunkkOFF! TeethRefreshers® while living in Northern California. “Living near the wineries, I was on one of my many weekend trips to Napa & Sonoma when I realized my white teeth were turning a ‘Funkky’ shade of purple from the red wine I was drinking. It was so embarrassing… I worked hard to keep my teeth sparkling white! To solve this, I would carry around a bulky toothpaste tube and full-size toothbrush in my purse when I was out. I was constantly brushing my teeth in between selfies & wine tastings to get the ‘Funkk’ ‘OFF’ of my teeth. One of these times, I reached into my purse and pulled out my lipstick and looked at it and thought, ‘Why isn’t there a product as compact and reusable as my lipstick - but for my teeth?’” says Founder and CEO, Flynn, on the motivation behind her company. “AHA! My lightbulb moment! I went home, put pen to paper and started drawing and designing what would become FunkkOFF! TeethRefreshers®.”

This month, Joelle formally partnered with long-time friend (they go all the way back to 7th grade!) and brand marketing gurr, Sonia Hounsell, to help launch the FunkkOFF! ® brand and start the commercialization of TeethRefreshers®.

Sonia Hounsell has worked in traditional consumer packaged goods companies (CPG) for over 25 years bringing 30+ products to retail shelves.

Hounsell comments, “Over the last few years, I became increasingly frustrated with the lack of focus on innovation in traditional CPG. R&D is a much lower priority in big companies and, as a result, true innovation rarely occurs. I was seeing a contraction in the traditional CPG environment and all the growth in consumer products was coming from direct-to-consumer start-ups. In fact, 90% of all CPG E-commerce growth is attributed to start-ups. So when my long-time entrepreneurial friend, Joelle, called me with her idea and asked me to help her bring FunkkOFF!® to market, I was ready to leave the slow growth of CPG and help create a start-up with a breakthrough product that would be a disruptor and a game-changer in the oral care industry. FunkkOFF!® goes well beyond oral care to give consumers the very first Beauty Essential product for their teeth. We see it thriving on-line as well as in stores like Sephora & Ulta. I also knew from decades of friendship with Joelle - whether on the lacrosse field or in calculus class - she and I would make a powerful and unstoppable team!”

FunkkOFF! ® Inc. holds 8 U.S. Patents and 4 U.S. Trademarks.. FunkkOFF! TeethRefreshers® patented design utilizes an easy-twist mechanism and aerated cap to make brushing quick, convenient and hygienic. With a quick rinse of the bristles and a twist at the bottom, users can quickly refresh their teeth whenever, wherever they are. Plus FunkkOFF! TeethRefreshers® are reusable up to 30x.
