Spergo - Streetwear Brand with King of Prussia Mall Location - Appears on ‘Shark Tank’
Spergo, the Streetwear Brand with a King of Prussia Mall Location, has appeared on Shark Tank.

Brown got his start in February 2018, after using $178 in birthday money to buy 16 T-shirts, which officially launched his designer lifestyle apparel brand.

Since then, the company has amassed more than 93,000 followers on Instagram and the teen is now operating two brick-and-mortar stores, one in the King of Prussia Mall and one in the Pentagon City Mall.

During the episode, Brown asked the show celebrity investors for a $300,000 investment in exchange for a 10 percent stake in his company.

His pitch certainly made an impression on the hosts and by the end of the episode, he had secured an investment from Daymond John for a 20 percent stake in Spergo.

“It was a one-take thing, I knew I had to go hard,” said Brown. “Your first impression is your best impression. I was practicing so long, I knew I had to give it my best.”
