Urinary tract problems in cats can be difficult to detect. Sometimes we find out until it's too late. Genius Litter prevents this with its litter solution, which changes color when it detects irregularities in its urine. Ramon van Meer dresses up as Albert Einstein to sell his product and makes a deal with Lori, Mark and Robert. Genius Litter is now worth $5 million.
About Ramon Van Meer
In addition to early prevention of disease, Genius Litter was created to address the shortcomings of traditional cat litter. It's virtually odorless, won't clump or stick to your cat's precious paws, and only needs to be replenished once a month.
The serial entrepreneur started buying and selling content sites on Flippa. One of them was SoapHub.com, an entertainment blog that was sold for $8.75 million. He used the cash to buy Alpha Paw for $300,000 and sold the dog ramp for more than $35 million, according to My Million Podcast.
The birth of genius trash
Mr. Van Meer has always been a pet lover. He came up with the idea for Genius Litter when his cat, Quincel, nearly died after noticing a late-stage feline urinary tract infection (UTI). Thankfully, he made it to the vet in time.
He has since researched solutions for disease detection in cats. He found that dog pee pads could detect health problems early. and created a similar product in the form of cat litter.
In 2020, Ramon launched Genius Litter, partnering with experienced chemical engineers and veterinarians. Within three years, the startup's annual revenue grew from $500,000 to $4.6 million.
After Shark Tank
After one memorable pitch, the company saw a surge in orders. At the time of the pitch, the brand had sales of $3.1 million and a profit of $456,000 for the year. Genius Litter should earn over $4 million in revenue by 2023.
With Ramon's digital marketing skills, their annual revenue should top $10 million by 2024. Increased brand search volume on Google will also help their website rankings and reduce acquisition costs. A deal with the Sharks should be completed within the next three months.
Their products are sold in more than 1,500 stores, including Target and PetSmart. You can purchase it online on Amazon and the Alpha Paw website. However, their post-Shark Tank discounts are only available on their website, GeniusLitter.com.
Without the discount, a bag of trash costs $25, but you can save even more by ordering in bulk. On Amazon, Health Monitor Cat Litter has an average rating of 3.9 stars, with over 6,650 customer reviews.
Although Genius Litter has achieved a lot in terms of revenue, there is still huge room for growth. The pet care market is reportedly worth $143.6 billion by 2023, with non-food products accounting for more than half of that figure.
Ramon's biggest competitor is Pretty Litter. They also sell deodorants and health monitoring components, but Pretty Litter is better known, has higher sales, and has over 30,000 reviews online. Given Ramon's track record of scaling businesses, Genius Litter should be a huge success story.
