Interview highlights
The Golden Ticket. Meghan founded SwiftPaws in 2012 and aired on Shark Tank in 2022 - a decade in the making. She landed a deal with Lori Greiner, who handed over her rare "golden ticket".
It started with a mini pinscher named Pretzel. A backyard lure-coursing project with her dad became a community event and eventually the fastest-growing canine sport's favorite at-home toy.
Built on the Space Coast. Prototypes for the newest products were 3D-printed and field-tested overnight at Groundswell Startups' lab in Brevard County - proof you can build a real company in your hometown.
Cats are having a moment. The new cat-focused version is already outselling the outdoor model by volume - and Lori came back out for a Shark Tank update that aired this January.
Products mentioned in the interview
Three SwiftPaws machines came up on the show. Here's the quick rundown so you can find the right fit for your pack.

A cavapoo's honest review of Pounce
Too hot for a walk? @explorewithjene found the fix for a bored (and “questionably part cat”) small dog. Pounce sets up in minutes and runs indoors - the lure zips, changes direction unpredictably, and stops at random, so it moves like real prey. Every catch is a win, his prey drive gets satisfied instead of aimed at the furniture, and afterward he “naps like he ran a 5K.”
