Irina Blok

If we could predict the future, we could all be rich. The 2009 episode featured Irina Blok, who called her new product Face Blok, which she described to the Sharks as a collection of fashion surgical masks designed for people with an edgy sense of humor who want to express themselves. In 2009 with the swine flu in the news at the time, the message didn't click. Fast forward through a 2020 viewer's eye. What a difference a decade makes. Irina Blok pitched the right product, just in the wrong decade. She now works as a product design lead at Google Research/AI.
