Meet Tiffany

Tiffany Krumins made history on the inaugural episode of Shark Tank, securing an investment for her invention, Ava the Elephant. Inspired by a sweet-natured boy with Down syndrome who struggled to take medication, Tiffany, his caregiver at the time, ingeniously pieced together fabric, sponges, and a plastic medicine dropper, embedding a recordable sound chip from a greeting card. That simple yet life-changing idea grew into one of Shark Tank’s most beloved success stories.

Seven years into her entrepreneurial journey, Ava the Elephant was acquired. Along the way, Tiffany faced a life-changing challenge: a cancer diagnosis shortly after her Shark Tank appearance. Her battle and recovery fueled the creation of Opu Probiotics, a mission-driven brand manufactured in her home state of Georgia.

Testimonials

“After seeing Tiffany’s pitch on Shark Tank, I felt compelled to reach out to her. As a pediatric nurse, I had many of the crucial pieces of the puzzle, but I’d been working on my product for about 8 months and I wasn’t sure what step to take next. She has steadfastly walked me through each stage of growth. Tubesies has now grown from a single prototype to a multi-sku brand now available at Zappos Adaptive. I owe so much of that success to Tiffany.”

"When Tiffany speaks everyone listens. She is one of the most authentic business owners that I have had the pleasure of getting to know. Tiffany knows how to relate to her audience and draws them in with her story of healing, overcoming and achieving her dreams. She is a business owner who lives with purpose and teaches others with great passion. She is the real deal! Hearing her speak at Spark & Hustle was the highlight of the event for me. She brought specific tactics and real stories that left you not only empowered to do more but changed you for the good."
