Chapel Hill man featured on 'Shark Tank'

A Chapel Hill entrepreneur will be featured Sunday night on "Shark Tank."

Joshua Esnard's invention is "The Cut Buddy," an invention he came up with at the age of 13.

He's been using it for fifteen years and now he wants to take his invention to a larger audience.

Esnard started marketing his invention by pairing up with influencers, that later resulting in a viral video that featured his invention.

That was enough to grab the attention of the "Sharks" and Esnard answered when they knocked on his door.

Esnard is now encouraging others entrepreneurs to pursue their ideas and to not give up.

You can watch him on "Shark Tank" on Sunday at 10 p.m.

ABC11 has decided to slowly reduce the number of stories on the website that have a comments section. We believe very strongly that our audience should have an opportunity to discuss and debate events in our world, however, we have not been able to moderate the comments as well as we would like. Instead of hosting a platform that could allow a few loud and ugly voices to dominate a conversation, we want to encourage everyone to join us on our social media platforms and speak out there.
