Who would have guessed that the Sharks enjoy painting, especially painting by numbers? Ashley and Brittany Silfies, founders of the premium paint-by-numbers kit company ‘Pink Picasso,’ were featured on a recent episode of ‘Shark Tank.
‘ They went into the tank looking for $400,000 in exchange for a 5% stake in their company. The duo had no idea that they would spark an intense bidding war between four Sharks vying to close the deal with them.

Ashley and Brittany Silfies, founders of the premium paint-by-numbers kit company ‘Pink Picasso,’ were featured on a recent episode of ‘Shark Tank.’ They went into the tank looking for $400,000 in exchange for a 5% stake in their company. The duo had no idea that they would spark an intense bidding war between four Sharks vying to close the deal with them.
Ashley and Brittany explained how they came up with the idea for Pink Picasso after ‘blowing up their lives’ by ending their decade-long marriages and getting together. Ashley was staring at the wall one day, wondering how she could make money with her photography and packaging skills when she had her eureka moment and came up with the idea for paint by numbers kits, giving birth to Pink Picasso.
Pink Picasso allows anyone to create stunning professional-looking paintings, and the Sharks loved every minute of it. Despite the fact that their product was nothing new, the Sharks couldn’t deny how relaxing the activity was. When the ladies started sharing their numbers and revealed that they made $900,000 in profits last fiscal year, it piqued the Sharks’ interest, particularly Kevin O’Leary, Lori Greiner, and Daniel Lubetzky.
