Career
Greiner began her career by creating a plastic earring organizer with sliding rods that could neatly store 100 pairs of earrings. She created a prototype of the product which was picked up by J.C. Penney before the holiday season. Greiner took out a $300,000 loan and paid it back in eighteen months. She claimed that “she never set out to be a serial inventor” but her success on the Home Shopping Network started her on that path. The following year she transitioned to QVC and in 2000 she created an arsenal of new products. In 2012, Greiner joined the TV series Shark Tank. Two years later her investment in Scrub Daddy, a company that produces a texture changing household sponge was noted as a huge success. In 2014 she had sold more than 2 million on QVC.
In 2016, Scrub Daddy resigned as “the biggest success story in Shark Tank history” with sales over 100 million. Other investments that she had included Squatty Potty, Readerest, Paint Brush Cover, Hold Your Haunches, Drop-Stop, FiberFix, Simply Fit Board, and Screened. The following year, Greiner’s Simply Fit Board, Scrub Daddy, and Sleep Styler are cited as 3 of the biggest Shark Tanks hits to date. Greiner published the book ‘Invent it, Sell it, Bank it! – Make Your Million Dollar Idea into a Reality in 2014 which was a bestseller. Greiner continues to be on the Shark Tank TV series alongside other serial entrepreneurs including Mark Cuban, Kevin O’Leary, Barbara Corcoran, Robert Herjavec, and Daymond John.
