Product Update
Is Orka Bar Still in Business? (2026 Update)
Is Orka Bar from Shark Tank still around in 2026? Its on-air agreement, what happened afterward, and current ordering options.
Stephen Longo named his company Orka after the Icelandic word for energy, inspired by the orca whales that patrol the coastal fjords near where he found his idea: a frozen protein bar coated in dark chocolate, built from egg whites and whey isolate instead of the syrupy fillers that make most protein bars taste like a chore. It is one of the most recent pitches on this list, out of Season 17.
The Short Answer
Yes, Orka Bar is still in business, and it is easy to verify directly. The company's own website is live right now, running a working shopping cart, selling four flavors in 4-packs at 15.99 dollars, and offering both wholesale and affiliate programs alongside a store locator for finding it in person.
The Shark Tank Pitch
Orka Bar pitched in Season 17, Episode 4, in the food and drink category, positioned around healthy desserts rather than standard protein bars, a smart framing given the product is meant to be eaten frozen. Longo built the brand around the born by the beach identity tied to its Icelandic naming inspiration. Season 17 is one of the more recent seasons this site covers, which means Orka Bar's post-show track record is still being written rather than fully established.
The Deal That Got Done
Lori Greiner made the deal, investing 100,000 dollars for 25 percent equity. The specific ask amount and equity percentage Longo originally proposed were not part of the publicly recorded fact sheet for this pitch, but Greiner's 25 percent stake at a 100,000 dollar check implies a post deal valuation of roughly 400,000 dollars.
Greiner has built a career on finding scalable consumer products with real shelf appeal, and a frozen novelty item with a distinct visual identity, the dark chocolate coating and the whale inspired branding, fits squarely into the kind of product she has had success placing into retail before. Her track record with impulse-purchase consumer goods, the kind of product a shopper adds to the cart because the packaging and concept catch their eye, made her a natural fit for a bar built around a distinctive origin story and a coating most competitors in the protein bar aisle do not offer.
Orka Bar net worth in 2026
Shark Tank tracking sources put Orka Bar's current net worth at roughly 500,000 dollars, a figure built off early sales performance rather than any audited company disclosure. Given the recency of the Season 17 appearance, this should be read as an early stage estimate that could move meaningfully in either direction over the next few years.
The confirmed, verifiable fact is simpler: the company has a live, functioning storefront today, selling product directly to customers, wholesale buyers, and through an affiliate network.
A Frozen Product Faces a Different Kind of Logistics Test
Most Shark Tank food pitches ship shelf stable product, which keeps fulfillment simple no matter how far the order has to travel. Orka Bar is not that. A frozen protein bar has to survive shipping without melting or losing texture, which typically means cold chain packaging, faster delivery windows, and real limits on how far a single order can travel economically without special handling. That the company is running a nationwide direct shipping option on 4 or more boxes today, alongside a store locator for buying it fresh in person, suggests Longo built the logistics side of the business deliberately rather than treating it as an afterthought once the Shark Tank exposure hit.
That operational detail matters more for a frozen product's long term survival odds than it would for almost any other category on this list, since the products that fail here often do so on distribution costs long before demand becomes the limiting factor.
Where Things Stand Now
Orka Bar closed a 100,000 dollar deal with Lori Greiner at 25 percent equity in Season 17, one of the more recent pitches to make it onto this site, and the frozen protein bar brand is actively selling today with a functioning website, wholesale program, and affiliate network.
If you tried the bars after watching the episode and are wondering whether you can still order more, the answer is yes, directly from the company's own site, no need to hunt through third party marketplaces.
