Was the jamstik+ on Shark Tank?

Was the jamstik+ on Shark Tank?

July 28, 2017

At Zivix, we're often asked "Was the jamstik+ the guitar company I saw on "Shark Tank"? 

The answer is NO, we were never on Shark Tank. In fact, we have actually declined multiple opportunities to go on similar programs—not even for the primetime publicity! We're proud to say that Zivix is around today because of the hundreds of early-adopters that believed in the fusion of music and technology, and backed our products on Indiegogo and Kickstarter.

Was the jamstik+ on Shark Tank?

We did have fun watching both Chord Buddy and Voyage Air Guitar find success on the show, but unless we get a personal invite from one of the sharks (hit us up at hello@zivix.net), then you probably won't see us on there.

Want to Know More About Zivix? A Brief Company History

Founded in Minneapolis, Zivix is called a pioneer in the music technology space—pushing the limits of today's tech with the traditional instruments we know and love. We build products for professional musicians, people who want to become musicians, and people who just want to have fun with musical tools. Check out our company highlights below:

Zivix was founded in 2006 in response to the millions of "wanna be" guitar heroes out there. Our mission was defined as making music more accessible for everyone while expanding the creative possibilities for musicians.

2010

Honing the patented technology behind future products, Zivix spent time developing music software & games across a number of platforms, including the PC, Wii, XBOX, and Playstation.

2012

Realizing the potential of the mobile market, Zivix shifts focus towards development on the iOS and Android platforms. Did you know Zivix has released more than 10 apps on the iOS App Store?

A year of jamstik success

The original jamstik finds crowdfunding success on IndieGogo, soon followed up by the puc MIDI interface. Both products ship to over 200 retail locations. 

The jamstik is named one of Popular Science's best inventions of the year, wins 'Best in Show' from the National Association for Musical Merchants (NAMM), and was named an honoree for the 2015 CES Innovation Awards under the "Tech for a Better World" category, and won 

Zivix Awards for jamstik

2015

Zivix utilizes new Bluetooth technology to update the product line and raises over $800,000 via Kickstarter. Through our commitment to giving back, we donated over 150 jamstik's to Music Education and Music Therapy causes by choosing to give one jamstik for every 15 pledged for. Some of the organizations we donated to included Little Kids Rock, Romeo Music, MacPhail Center for Music, MyMusicRX, High School Nation, Notes for Notes and other amazing organizations.
