The best consumer innovations don't always come from the biggest companies. They come from those fearless enough to try. In partnership with MassChallenge, our inaugural SharkNinja Innovation Challenge live finale brought student founders to the stage with ideas shaped by persistence, a deep understanding of the consumer, and the poise to bring those ideas to life. Their ability to communicate for impact was just as impressive as the innovations themselves. Congratulations to this year’s winners: 🏆 Woven from University of Southern California, advancing hair care for textured hair 🥈 Matcha Luxe from Tufts University, elevating the at-home matcha experience 🥉 Nami Cleans from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, rethinking how reusable bottles are cleaned And to GreenPark Lighting from University of Oklahoma, awarded the Golden Ticket for continued mentorship with SharkNinja leadership. Through Innovation for Impact - our commitment to supporting the next generation of builders through mentorship, resources, and real-world experience - we’re committed to backing builders who are willing to do the hard work of creating what’s next. The ideas we saw on stage are just the beginning, and we’re excited to see how far they go. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/ekRNUMCF #WeAreSharkNinja #SNInnovationChallenge #Innovation

What does the future of innovation look like? It looks like Tristan, Abigail, and Ahmed. At the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) Boston Inspire STEM Gala, we awarded the 2026 Circle of Innovation Scholarship to three Northeastern University mechanical engineering students who are already using technology to make a difference their communities. At SharkNinja, this is where it starts, with people who see problems and feel compelled to solve them. Through our Innovation for Impact philanthropy program, we’re working to support the next generation of engineers and inventors by creating access, opportunities, and possibilities. Congratulations! We are proud to support your journey. If you know someone who is building, solving, or pushing an idea further than expected, tag them below! #WeAreSharkNinja #NSBEboston #STEM

Great design delivers performance and creates an emotional connection with consumers. That philosophy is at the heart of two SharkNinja products now recognized with a 2026 iF Design Award for Product Design: Shark FacialPro Glow and Ninja CRISPi Pro. For decades, the iF Design Award has recognized work that challenges convention and elevates everyday experiences. At SharkNinja, design is how we transform real consumer problems into innovations that positively impact people’s lives. It’s embedded in every insight, every prototype, and every performance standard. From redefining skincare routines to reimagining what’s possible in the kitchen, this recognition reflects the work of the extraordinary teams behind these innovations - teams who obsess over every detail and defy expectations with products that earn their place in millions of homes around the world. #WeAreSharkNinja #iFDesignAward

The personal fan category has been full of hot air. Until now. Introducing Shark ChillPill, the first 3-in-1 personal cooling system combining a high-speed bladeless fan accelerating air up to 25 feet per second, a dry-touch evaporative mister, and a cryo-inspired InstaChill cooling plate that drops skin temperature up to 16°F in seconds. From sun-soaked beach days to overheated commutes, ChillPill delivers customizable cooling wherever the heat shows up. Wear it, clip it, or set it down hands-free. "Portable fans move air. ChillPill actually cools you down," said Neil Shah, Chief Commercial Officer at SharkNinja. "We saw an opportunity to reinvent the category around what consumers actually need. Real relief, not just airflow." Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/e9UrbHqg #DisruptiveInnovation #WeAreSharkNinja
