Episode 9 of ABC's Shark Tank season 14 will feature four businesses — ChessUp, Garage Celebrations, ReadyFestive, and ZipString.

The official synopsis of Shark Tank season 14 episode 9 reads:

"First into the Tank are entrepreneurs from San Francisco, California, who want you to get festive with their convenient and customizable home decor delivery service. Entrepreneurs from Johns Creek, Georgia, introduce their hand-held product made for today’s generation of children, while entrepreneurs from Overland Park, Kansas, present a better way to learn how to play a classic game."

Introducing the last business, the synopsis continues:

"Last into the Tank is a father and son from Plano, Texas, who provide an easier way to show holiday spirit with their reusable and high-quality home decor design."

ReadyFestive founders Kristina Barnes and Elizabeth Voelker will be the first to appear in the upcoming episode. They will try to make a deal with the sharks for their holiday decoration subscription box business.

Next into the Tank will be Georgia boys Stephen Fazio and Austin Hillam, who will showcase their fun product ZipString to the investors. The viral toy will impress the sharks, as per the episode 9 preview and photos, and they will be seen playing with it.

ChessUp, an electronic smart chess that teaches how to play the classic game, will be pitched by its founders, Adam Roush and Jeff Wigh. On the company’s site, the product description reads:
