Episode 11 Airs April 10 – Grab Your Wallets (and Your Laptops)
If you’ve ever wished Shark Tank had more heart, more hustle, and a way for viewers to jump in on the action, Go Fund Yourself is your new obsession. Airing on Cheddar TV, it merges high-stakes entrepreneurship with real-time crowdfunding, giving startups a shot at stardom while offering viewers a front-row seat (and a clickable way to support).
In Episode 11, two standout companies took the stage: GivBux, a philanthropic fintech app turning everyday purchases into powerful charitable donations, and TechLok’s LapLok, a genius security device that could save your laptop — and your identity — from thieves. While their industries may differ, their energy and innovation were undeniable. And the Titans? Totally impressed.
GivBux: The Super App That Gives You All the Feels (and Some Rewards Too)
Picture this: You’re grabbing coffee, buying a gift card for a friend, or treating yourself to some online retail therapy, and a percentage of every transaction automatically goes to charity. That’s not a future dream. That’s GivBux.
Designed as a one-stop-shop super app, GivBux seamlessly integrates shopping, gifting, rewards, and philanthropy into one powerful platform. Users can purchase eGifts, earn cashback rewards, and — here’s the magic — automatically donate a portion of each transaction to causes they care about. No extra steps, no extra fees, just doing good on autopilot.
During the episode, the GivBux team wowed the panel with their polished pitch and powerful mission: to build North America’s largest charitable giving community through technology. One Titan recognized it as “a revolution in conscious consumerism.” Another asked, “Why isn’t everyone already using this?!”
The app is now available on Android and iOS, and thanks to the exposure from Go Fund Yourself, it’s ready to go viral with the support of viewers. Because in a world where convenience rules, GivBux makes kindness the easiest click of your day.
LapLok by TechLok: The Tiny Device That Could Save Your $2,000 Laptop
Next up: LapLok, a compact, high-tech locking system for laptops that delivers big protection in a sleek little package. With over 300 laptops stolen every single day in the U.S. alone, LapLok arrives just in time to combat a rising epidemic of tech theft.
Created by the innovators at TechLok, LapLok combines physical security with smart tech: an adjustable arm to lock your device to any surface, an 80-decibel alarm that scares off potential thieves, and even password management features to keep your digital life safe.
Whether you’re working from a coffee shop, co-working space, or airport lounge, LapLok lets you step away from your device with confidence. As one Titan put it, “It’s like LoJack for laptops — but cooler.”
And it’s not just about lost hardware. LapLok could save companies and individuals from data breaches, identity theft, and a whole lot of stress. The Titans saw the potential instantly, calling it “a business tool, a lifestyle necessity, and a market-ready product all in one.”
Titans, Traction, and Takeaways
What makes Go Fund Yourself unlike anything else on TV? The Titans. These aren’t just celebrity judges — they’re industry leaders, serial entrepreneurs, and high-level investors who offer more than just capital. Their value lies in mentorship, guidance, exposure, and the connections that can take an idea from startup to scale-up.
In Episode 11, the Titans delivered their signature mix of encouragement and tough love, pushing both teams to refine their messaging and think bigger. And with the added pressure — and possibility — of crowdfunding from live viewers, the stakes have never been higher.
Join the Movement: Crowdfund Your Favorite Startups in Real Time
One of the most exciting features of Go Fund Yourself? The audience doesn’t just watch… they invest. Viewers can instantly support the entrepreneurs they love by contributing to their live crowdfunding campaigns during the episode. It’s Shark Tank meets Kickstarter with instant gratification.

Final Take
Episode 11 of Go Fund Yourself was a mic-drop moment for innovation with purpose. GivBux showed us how fintech can foster generosity at scale, while LapLok proved that powerful tech solutions can come in small, mighty packages. Both companies left the Titans impressed and viewers inspired.
