(PRESS RELEASE) ARLINGTON, TX — After appearing on the award-winning series Shark Tank, Guest Shark Alexis Ohanian and his venture capital firm Seven Seven Six officially made an investment into RetrievAir, a revolutionary new pet-first aviation service that lets pets fly side-by-side in cabin with their owners, without the need to confine them to a bag, crate, or the dreaded cargo hold.
“Appearing on Shark Tank was a dream come true, and we are so thankful that Alexis and the team at Seven Seven Six have put their faith behind RetrievAir,” says RetrievAir co-founder and CEO Benton Miller. “Shark Tank was a series that my dad and I would always watch together. He loved how it was inspiring for young entrepreneurs to go out and chase their dreams. Now that he’s gone, being able to not only stand in the Tank as an entrepreneur, but to also get a deal from Alexis, means more than I can describe — I know it’s something my dad would be proud of.”
“Alexis and his incredible team at Seven Seven Six have been a delight to work with. We are so happy to have their support behind us as we work to expand RetrievAir to even more destinations across North America,” says fellow RetrievAir co-founder and aviation guru Mark Williams. Williams continues, “we want to thank ABC and Sony Pictures Television for the incredible opportunity.”…
