Eve Drop

What is Eve Drop?

Eve Drop is a product that makes permanent Christmas lights hangers. Instead of putting in a lot of effort to put up Christmas lights only to work hard to take them down every year, Eve Drop allows you to raise and store your holiday lights under the eaves of your house, then simply drop them when needed without having to ever lift your feet.

Who Owns Eve Drop?

Between 2013 and 2016, he became an Inventor and President of Shaffarne LLC/EveDrop where the Christmas product came to light.

Founder’s Story

Before Nathan approached Shark Tank, he was a family man that enjoyed the festive season, however, that came with the unwanted labor of climbing a ladder to put up Christmas lights only to climb up again a few weeks later to take them down. He spent over a year developing the notion of storing Christmas lights and bringing them out in the same place that they are to be seen in the season.

His next entrepreneurial move was to try and get crowdfunding for his idea through the Kickstarter website. After failing to reach his funding goal in 2013, he went back to Kickstarter the following year with lower goals and a re-designed campaign that brought him success. There was a six month delay due to his complex production process, but by July 2014 Eve Drop was taken to its Kickstarter backers. However, Nathan wanted to attract more investors which directed him to Shark Tank.
