Sandy Springs businessman debuts on Shark Tank
ABC’s Shark Tank is slated to feature another metro Atlanta entrepreneur when the TV show airs on Friday at 9 p.m.
Patrick Whaley, who founded Sandy Springs-based Titin, taped a segment where he pitches his line of weighted compression training clothing to the show's panel of wealthy investors. Whaley was a Georgia Tech engineering student when he was shot by robbers in a Midtown parking deck. He later was featured in an Atlanta Journal-Constitution Personal Journey feature last year.
At least 11 Georgia startups have appeared on Shark Tank since the popular show first aired.
