Can a simple bowl of oatmeal become a gourmet sensation and capture the attention of shrewd investors? The answer is a resounding yes, as demonstrated by Oatmeals, the brainchild of Samantha Stephens, which transformed this humble breakfast staple into a culinary adventure and a compelling business opportunity.

Oatmeals, a gourmet oatmeal bar and cafe, dared to reimagine how people perceive and consume oatmeal. Founded by Samantha Stephens, a former finance professional with a passion for creative gastronomy, the New York City-based startup brought a unique oatmeal experience to the masses, offering 30 different signature bowls and over 81 toppings, cookies, and muffins. The innovative concept quickly gained traction, leading Stephens to the brightly lit stage of "Shark Tank," where she sought to secure funding and propel her business to new heights. Her appearance on Season 10, Episode 7, would prove to be a pivotal moment, filled with intense questioning, a bidding war, and ultimately, a deal that promised to reshape the future of Oatmeals.
