Crooked Compass founder, Lisa Pagotto, braved “The Tank” to pitch her culturally immersive small group tours. Although no deal was done in the Tank, she won the support of RedBalloon’s high-profile founder and entrepreneur, Naomi Simson.

Crooked Compass offers personally crafted itineraries that are designed for experienced travellers looking for “something more”. Through this partnership, Red Balloon can now offer their clients an exciting range of once in a lifetime global experiences.

Naomi Simson said: “Sometimes an entrepreneur comes into the Shark Tank who skilfully weaves you into their spell with their ability to tell a story. For me, Lisa did just that. I imagined what it was like in her start-up world, able to take travellers to far away places to experience life in all its cultural richness. Her passion, curiosity and persistence were infectious, I could not help but put up my hand to offer assistance.”
