Bruno Francois pitched Cycloramic, an app that used an iPhone’s internal vibrations to rotate the device hands-free for 360-degree photos. He sought $90,000 for 5% equity, highlighting impressive sales figures.
The Sharks were intrigued. Lori Greiner offered $200,000 for 10%, while Daymond John countered with $250,000 for 10%. Kevin O’Leary pressured Francois to decide quickly, but ultimately, Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner teamed up to offer $500,000 for 15%, which Francois accepted.
After Shark Tank, Cycloramic evolved into Car360, a company focused on 360-degree imagery technology. In 2018, Carvana acquired Car360 for approximately $22 million, with $6.7 million in cash and $15.2 million in stock.

The design chief of Mercedes-Benz, Gorden Wagener, has recently shared his thoughts on the potential impact of artificial intelligence on the automotive industry, specifically within his role. Wagener acknowledged that AI might eventually take over some aspects of design, particularly repetitive tasks, by analyzing large amounts of data and generating designs based on patterns. However, he emphasized that AI, while a powerful tool, lacks the creativity, intuition, and emotional connection that human designers bring to the table. Wagener expressed that AI could assist designers in their work, but it is unlikely to fully replace the human touch that defines luxury and innovation in car design. He sees AI as a collaborator rather than a competitor in the design process.
Michael Seibel, who has worked at Reddit, Twitch, and Y Combinator, shares how to succeed in YC as a technical startup:
Be frugal. Startups fail when they run out of money, not ideas.
Have engineers on the founding team. Outsourcing slows you down.
Solve daily problems. The best startups fix real, recurring issues.
YC values execution over hype. Move fast, stay lean, and build what people need.

Sam Altman believes momentum is everything in a startup. In the early days, progress builds on itself—one step forward leads to another. But if a founder slows down or loses focus, getting back on track becomes extremely difficult.
It’s up to the founder to keep things moving. Keep building, keep improving, and never let things stall—because once momentum is gone, it’s hard to get it back.
